“Pennsylvania is taking a measured approach to revising or lifting mitigation orders,” Wolf said in
a statement. “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.”
The new revisions take place immediately.
