Wolf: All Pennsylvanians should wear masks

HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Wolf asked everyone in Pennsylvania to wear masks while out in public to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

His announcement was made during his daily press conference with Pa. Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine Friday afternoon.

“Today, I’m asking all Pennsylvanians to wear a mask. Anytime you leave your house masks help prevent people from sharing illnesses,” Wolf said. “They don’t do a great job at keeping people from getting sick, and they’re not foolproof, so it’s critical that our first act is to ask ourselves if we really need to leave our house. If we don’t really, truly need to leave, then we should some trips are unavoidable.”
