The State College Borough has repealed its COVID-19 Emergency Ordinance, according to an announcement released Wednesday.

The State College Borough has repealed its COVID-19 Emergency Ordinance, according to an announcement released Wednesday.

The borough said the decision results from the state legislature’s vote to rescind the governor’s Emergency Declaration. Pennsylvania voters gave lawmakers the authority through a constitutional amendment in the primary election in May.

The repeal means an end to limits on gathering sizes in the borough. The Borough Council had voted last month to end mask-wearing requirements for fully vaccinated people.

Statewide, the mask mandate is expected to be lifted within two weeks.
