Pennsylvania drops mask mandate

HARRISBURG (AP) - Pennsylvania lifted its mask mandate on Monday, more than 14 months after the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf began requiring people to wear face coverings whenever they left home to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Department of Health will no longer require unvaccinated people to wear masks in public, though it said businesses, health care facilities, prisons and other places may still require them.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also requires masks on planes, trains, buses and public transportation hubs.

Fully vaccinated people were allowed to shed their masks in most public places in Pennsylvania last month.
