Pennsylvanians may have voted to restrict Gov. Tom Wolf’s emergency powers last week, but it will not impact the single most visible sign of the COVID-19 pandemic on citizens’ lives: masks.
Under current state health orders, unvaccinated individuals should wear masks when they’re indoors, and outdoors if they’re unable to maintain social distance.
Matching updated federal guidelines, the state recently lifted these rules for vaccinated individuals. Under the new orders, vaccinated individuals should only wear masks in some crowded settings.
While anger fixated on the emergency declaration, the Pennsylvania Department of Health still has the power to “carry out the appropriate control measures” of infectious diseases under the state’s 1955 Disease Control and Prevention Act.
