Pittsburgh and Allegheny County to Enter Green Phase on Friday, June 5

Governor Wolf announced that Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, along with other counties in the region, will be moving to Green Phase in the state’s plan to reopen starting on Friday, June 5.

What Green Phase Means

Look for your favorite restaurants and bars to reopen to in-person dining, although with health precautions still in place such as reduced capacities and social distancing. Additionally, hair salons and barbershops can reopen for appointments. Gyms, health & wellness facilities, and spas are also allowed to operate at a 50% capacity.

Working from home is still strongly encouraged for the time being, and Pittsburghers are encouraged to continue to remain vigilant, wear masks when out and about, and practice social distancing when possible.
