City Announces Masking Guidance for Employees and City Facilities

PITTSBURGH, PA (August 6, 2021) The City of Pittsburgh announced updated mask guidance for all City facilities based on CDC guidance beginning today. Individuals who are unvaccinated are required to wear masks at all times inside City facilities.
