State officials require mask-wearing in all Pennsylvania businesses, as “consistent mask-wearing is critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19,” the Department of Health stated. All 67 counties remain in the green phase.

At a press conference Tuesday, Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine talked about the importance of contact tracing and described how the process works.

“Through COVID-19 case investigations, we know much of this is attributed to spread at locations where wearing a mask is difficult and social distancing may not occur — like bars, restaurants and nightclubs,” she said. “When conducting case investigations, public health professionals gather that list of close contacts, work to contact trace and inform those individuals of their potential exposure. As you can see contact tracing has, and always will be, a critical part and key strategy to the governor’s process of reopening Pennsylvania and an important tool to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”
