Measure on masking in youth sports clears House committee
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Legislation that has cleared a Pennsylvania House committee would give school districts the authority to decide whether student athletes must wear masks while playing. The Republican-controlled committee approved the measure on a party-line vote.

We urge all Pennsylvanians who are not yet vaccinated to get their shot today.”
To keep all Pennsylvanians informed, the Department of Health provides daily and weekly updates to the COVID-19 Dashboard, the Early Warning Monitoring Dashboard and the COVID-19 Vaccine Dashboard. These resources include significant statewide and county level case, death, hospitalization and
