Department of Health Acting Secretary Alison Beam announced that the commonwealth's mask order will be lifted by June 28. The department determined that the commonwealth's mask order can be lifted on June 28 or when 70 percent of adults get their second dose, whichever comes first.
Once the statewide masking order is lifted, Pennsylvania will continue to follow the CDC guidance for wearing a mask where required by law, rule, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance. The CDC requires individuals to wear a mask on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States, and in U.S. transportation hubs, such as airports and stations. In addition, all individuals should still follow guidance at workplaces, local businesses, long-term care facilities, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters.
