As of today, the CDC officially eliminated mask mandates for individuals who are fully vaccinated for most indoor and outdoor activities. You can see the full announcement here.
The announcement virtually lifts all restrictions for masks, which include indoor dinning within restaurants and breweries.
In response to the announcement Pennsylvania made the decision to follow suit:
“Today’s guidance from the CDC affects only people who are fully vaccinated. 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” Department of Health Acting Secretary Alison Beam announced in a release today.
The release confirms: “today’s CDC guidelines automatically go into effect in Pennsylvania”
Masking requirement will still be in place as otherwise provided under the CDC guidance and for unvaccinated individuals until 70 percent of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older are fully vaccinated.
