The requirement to wear a mask in Pennsylvania will end, in most circumstances, no later than June 28. Department of Health Acting Secretary Alison Beam announced the timeline during a briefing Thursday morning.
“After reviewing the vaccination data for people 18 and over and discussing it with the COVID-19 Vaccine Legislative Task Force, we have 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,” Beam said.
Yesterday we hit a milestone with 70% of adults receiving at least one dose of vaccine, that’s a strong indicator that we are on track to get at least that many getting both doses by the end of June.”
