Officials with the Pennsylvania Department of Health announced Thursday that the state’s mask order is now in line with the CDC’s guidance issued earlier in the day. The CDC guidelines that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear a face covering while indoors or outdoors is now automatically in effect in Pennsylvania. This only applies to fully vaccinated people. Acting Health Secretary Alison Beam said in a news release. Masks are still required for unvaccinated people until 70% of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older are fully vaccinated. State officials said the CDC’s guidance says fully vaccinated individuals can resume activities that they did prior to the pandemic without wearing a mask or physically distancing except where required by law, rule and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
