“We are all excited about the possibility of reopening businesses in Erie County soon,” Dahlkemper said, “but it’s so important that we continue to practice social distancing – with masks, and practicing good personal hygiene. If the stay-at-home order is lifted, we must continue these practices. Universal masking is our new way of life, and it will be here for a while. I can’t stress enough that we are talking about people’s lives here.”
Guidance for masks and for businesses allowed to operate is available on eriecountypa.gov.
All questions related to COVID-19 symptoms and enforcement should be directed to Erie County Department of Health at 814-451-6700 or ecdhinfo@eriecountypa.gov.
