Pennsylvania will lift the universal mask mandate on Monday, June 28, at 12:01 a.m. The Department of Health made the announcement on Friday, 6/25. "We are continuing to make progress toward stopping the spread of COVID-19 throughout the commonwealth, as many Pennsylvanians have taken responsibility for their own health and the health of their communities by getting vaccinated,” Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said. "Even though the universal masking order will be lifted in a few days, businesses, organizations, health care providers and other entities maintain the option of requiring employees, guests or customers to wear a mask, regardless of their vaccination status." The CDC still requires masks on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation. Also, masks may be required at at workplaces, local businesses, long-term care facilities, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, prisons, and shelters.
“As we shift to wearing masks less often, it is important to remain resilient in the fight against COVID-19, just as we have done together over the last year and a half,” Acting Physician General Dr. Denise Johnson said. “The COVID-19 vaccines are the best tools we have to defeat COVID-19. Pennsylvanians are aware of this and have been getting vaccinated. If you have not already been vaccinated, there are plenty of options available near you. Getting as many Pennsylvanians vaccinated as possible wil l offer more protection against the virus for everyone and is the fastest and safest way for us to return to our normal activities.”

Clementon Park and Splash World in South Jersey reopened on Friday, 6/25, at 11 a.m. It had been closed since 2019. The amusement park was bought at auction back in March for $2.3 million. The auction started with bids for the entire park. Then individual parts were auctioned off. Since the total bids for the individual parts were less than the bid for the whole park, the initial bid won. Today, the entire water park opened and some of the rides.

Philadelphia City Council passed a bill on Thursday, 6/24, that simplifies the current curfew laws for minors. Currently, the law differs depending on the day of the week and time of the year. The new law will be the same year-round. Children whose parent/guardian cannot be contacted are currently taken to the police station. Now, they'll be taken to an evening resource center. The bill also gets rid of the fine that parents have to pay. The new curfew times will be Midnight for ages 16 and over; 10 p.m. for ages 14-16; and 9:30 p.m. for ages 13 and under. |
