On July 1, the business safety order was expanded to require masks be worn whenever someone leaves home under a new order signed under Dr. Levine’s authority under the Disease Prevention and Control Act.
“This mask-wearing order is essential to stopping the recent increase in COVID-19 cases we have seen in Pennsylvania,” Gov. Wolf said. “Those hot spots can be traced to situations where Pennsylvanians were not wearing masks or practicing social distancing – two practices that must be adhered to if we want to maintain the freedoms we have in place under our reopening.”
