Pennsylvania State Travel Restrictions Lifted
On March 1st, the Governor announced the expiration of the out-of-state travel restrictions, which was put in place in November 2020 to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Students and staff are no longer required to produce a negative COVID test upon return from out-of-state travel, nor are students and staff required to quarantine after traveling.

In November, the purpose of the mandate was to limit travel and contact with those who do not reside in your household. We encourage everyone to continue to be cautious as it relates to helping to control the spread of COVID-19. Wearing a mask, engaging in appropriate social distancing, and exercising caution when traveling are all behaviors we can control when doing our part to keep our community safe.

Revised Occupancy Limits for Events
Also yesterday, the Governor announced a revised maximum occupancy limits for indoor and outdoor events.

• Revised maximum occupancy limits for indoor events to allow for 15% of maximum occupancy, regardless of venue size. The 15% of maximum occupancy is permitted only if attendees and workers are able to comply with the 6-foot physical distancing requirement. Masks, social distancing, and hand hygiene still must be enforced.
• Revised maximum occupancy limits for outdoor events to allow for 20% of maximum occupancy, regardless of venue size. The 20% of maximum occupancy is permitted only if attendees and workers are able to comply with the 6-foot physical distancing requirement. Masks, social distancing, and hand hygiene still must be enforced.

The district will continue to review the revised mitigation orders and how this may affect the events to be held within the school district. We will continue to update families as information is ready to be shared.
