HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Wolf will lift all COVID-19 mitigation measures, except the state mask-wearing requirement by Memorial Day.
The current order requiring Pennsylvanians to wear masks will be lifted when 70% of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older are fully vaccinated, the administration announced today.
As of today, just over 50% of Pennsylvanians 16-and-older have gotten at least one day of COVID vaccine, according to the Department of Health.
“We continue to make significant progress in the fight to stop the spread of COVID-19 and as more Pennsylvania adults get vaccinated and guidance from the CDC evolves, we can continue to move forward with our reopening efforts,” the Department of Health Acting Secretary Alison Beam said. “I encourage Pennsylvanians to take the critical steps needed to put this pandemic behind us by getting vaccinated, follow through with both doses if you receive the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, and continue to take steps like masking, frequent hand washing and sanitizing and social distancing.”
The announcement comes a day after Wolf told reporters he wasn’t sure how many Pennsylvanians would need to be vaccinated before state officials determined it was safe to relax restrictions.
“We want to get to that point where we feel safe,” Wolf said Monday.
Requirements such as testing and reporting new cases will remain in place for hospitals and long-term care facilities. Maintaining requirements for hospitals and long-term care facilities will allow Pennsylvania to continue to closely monitor COVID-19 spread while lifting other restrictions.
The Department of Health recommends that Pennsylvanians refer to CDC guidelines and recommendations regarding ongoing COVID-19 safety measures and procedures.
These updates will not prevent municipalities and school districts from continuing and implementing stricter mitigation efforts.
“With millions of Pennsylvanians getting vaccinated, it’s time to plan the transition back to normal,” said Sen. Art Haywood, D-Philadelphia, a member of the legislative task force Wolf established to help plan the state’s vaccine rollout. Hospitalizations and deaths are down. This action today is a key step forward,” Haywood said.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Wolf can pound sand. One of the worst, most corrupt governors Pennsylvania has ever had.
Eh...wot?

So in order to live as a free man in PA you must inject an experimental drug into your body. I was hoping one day to visit the northern tier of our country, but with rules so as these I reckon I never will.

No, most of the folks I know and work with (family, friends, sub-contractors, tradesmen, material suppliers and those that work there, customers, tenants, etc.) Just ignore the libtard freak and his transvestite Secretary of Health. We just live our lives as we did before this dempanic was created. Better get your protection injection. Not happening.
Eh...wot?

The current order requiring Pennsylvanians to wear masks will be lifted when 70% of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older are fully vaccinated, the administration announced today. Just a scare tactic to try to manipulate people into getting the vaccine. They will NEVER get 70% vaccinated since 30% have said they won't, 50% already have. That means 100% of the rest need to be vaccinated and we don't know how they feel about it. No way. I guess Pennsylvania will be wearing masks forever. I remember when we were taking precautions for two weeks to flatten the curve.

Wolf is bad, but Cuomo is the worst! Yesterday Cuomo said that people who don't get the vaccine will kill their grandmothers. We can't Cuomo, you already killed them all!

I don’t know what is going on in the metro areas, but most of PA is rural and as Lugnut stated, we continued with our lives as before the virus. Lots of folks wear masks and lots don’t, but there are no challenges either way. Happy to be living in the country. Lots of folks contracted the virus but few were hospitalized, or seriously ill.

I ask you: what part of that statement is "science"???? Where we are today........”feel”. Feel is the science in that statement.

This ^ is a good example of how a free society should work. Here in Yukon where communism is quickly taking hold, masks mandates are still in effect everywhere, still limits on capacity in churches, restaurants, and our CMO came out today and said these restrictions will start to be lifted on the 25th of this month.....but only for those who have taken the vaccination. In the entire china virus scam, not one person has been hospitalized due to covid in Yukon. Not one. One person did die WITH, not from, covid at home, but thats it. Yet we are under rules so strict it would make Stalin proud....

I wonder if I visited and chose not to wear a mask if I would be allowed to see the Liberty Bell?
