Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has revised some of the state's COVID-19 mitigation orders.
The state is raising the occupancy limits for indoor events to 15% of maximum occupancy. Outdoor event capacity is going to 20%.
In addition, the state is eliminating the out-of-state travel restrictions put in place in November that required those entering Pennsylvania from another state to quarantine for 14 days once in the state.
“Pennsylvania is taking a measured approach to revising or lifting mitigation orders,” Gov. Wolf said. “The reason we are seeing cases drop can be attributed, in part, to people following the mitigation efforts we have in place. Mask-wearing, social distancing and hand hygiene are making a difference and need to continue even as we see more and more people fully vaccinated. We need to balance protecting public health with leading the state to a robust economic recovery. We are lifting mitigation efforts only when we believe it is safe to do so.”
