Pennsylvania’s health and education departments clarified an earlier statewide mask order, saying that students age two and older have to wear face coverings at all times at school, with few exceptions.
According to an updated guideline by Pennsylvania Department of Education, schools may allow students over two years old to remove their face coverings under very specific circumstances. Those scenarios include while eating or drinking spaced at least six feet apart, or during an activity that would make wearing a mask unsafe. Students can also take their masks off during a 10-minute, physically distanced “face-covering breaks.”
