Here’s a look at what you can and can’t come Monday, January 4th, in Pennsylvania. 

HARRISBURG, PA — The additional coronavirus mitigation measures announced in mid-December will expire on Monday. That means indoor dining can resume at some capacity, gyms can reopen their indoor facilities, youth sports can continue, among other things.

All mitigation orders put in place before Dec. 12 remain in place, Gov. Tom Wolf has said.

Some of those mitigation orders that will remain in place include the mask-wearing mandate, gathering limits based on venue size and the restaurant self-certification process for indoor dining.

“This does not mean we are out of the woods,” Wolf said during a Wednesday afternoon news briefing announcing that the additional measures would expire as planned on Monday.

The mitigation measures announced in mid-December were instituted as cases spiked amid a fall surge. The restrictions were aimed to put Pennsylvania “on pause,” Wolf said at the time.Subscribe

The out-of-state travel testing requirement remains in place.
