Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam says that, no matter what, the state will be lifting its mask mandate on June 28th.
She made the announcement at a press conference Thursday. Beam also added that if the state reaches the 70 percent of fully vaccinated adults prior to that deadline, the mask mandate would be lifted earlier than June 28th.
The announcement comes after what Beam called a significant milestone in vaccinating its citizens. According to the latest data, more than 70 percent of adults in Pennsylvania have received at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.
All Pennsylvanians 12 and older are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
