HARRISBURG (KDKA) – The state is lifting its mask mandate by June 28. The state will lift it even earlier if 70% of adults get fully vaccinated before then.
“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,” Acting Secretary Beam said.
“Pennsylvanians are realizing that they have the power to stop COVID-19 and they are stepping up to get vaccinated.”

Life in Pennsylvania may be closer to returning to its old self following new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that will do away with masks and social distancing requirements for those who are fully vaccinated.
The new guidance is automatically reflected in Pennsylvania’s own masking order, Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said, adding that the rest of the state’s masking order would be lifted once 70% of the state’s population is vaccinated for COVID-19. Beam said the new guidance will work to incentivize Pennsylvanians to get the vaccine, which will in turn get the state closer to the desired 70% vaccination threshold.

The Pennsylvania Health Department says it will follow the CDC s new recommendation to ease mask-wearing guidance for fully vaccinated people, allowing them to stop wearing masks outdoors in crowds and in most indoor settings.
The health department is stressing that this only affects those that are fully vaccinated. Today s guidance from the CDC affects only people who are fully vaccinated, Acting Secretary Beam said. This is another incentive to get the vaccine that is now easily and conveniently available. Once 70 percent of Pennsylvanians over 18 are fully vaccinated, we can completely lift the masking order.
