(Pittsburgh, Pa.) The Diocese of Pittsburgh is easing its COVID-19 restrictions for churches and schools on Saturday February 26, 2022
Priests, deacons, ushers, and others will no longer be required to wear masks at mass.
Parishioners can once again share the sign of peace. Also, parish events outside of mass will be allowed to be held in-person.
For schools, masks will not be required inside elementary or high schools. However, students must continue to wear them on school buses per federal law.
Anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 will not only have to quarantine at home for five days but will also have to wear a mask for five days after they return to school.
