The City of Philadelphia plans to reinstate indoor masking for COVID-19 mitigation as cases are on the rise. Philadelphia Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole made the announcement April 11.
“I‘d hoped we wouldn’t be meeting like this again, but here we are,” Bettigole said in an online press conference. “Starting today, I’m asking businesses and institutions in Philadelphia to dig up those old ’Masks required' signs, start hanging them in your windows, and start having conversations with your staff about reminding people to wear their mask while they’re indoors.”
