PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia appears to be headed back to indoor mask mandates. If COVID cases continue to increase, the city health department is expected to make the announcement Monday.
COVID is making a comeback in Philadelphia. While the overall numbers are still relatively low, they’re increasing.
“I think we all have to stay alert, we do not know what is happening next,” Health Commissioner Cheryl Bettigole said.
Under the city’s COVID response plan, Philadelphia could be moving from the all clear to a level 2 soon.
Masks will be required inside again if 2 of these 3 measures are met
the average new daily cases are less than 225 hospitalizations are less than 100 and cases are up more than 50% over 10 days
As of Thursday, there are 127 new daily cases, 53 hospitalized, and cases are up 95% over the past 10 days. The health department says it will decide Monday after reviewing hospital numbers.
“My commitment to Philadelphians is to not institute rules lightly,” Bettigole said.
The department may announce the return of the mask mandate Monday but delay implementing it for a few days, city spokesperson James Garrow said, to give businesses time to adapt.
If brought back, the mask mandate would apply to schools in the city as well.
Open the gd windows...use fans...and assume there are filters on any HVAC
Just send the free tests to the locales in the country where you want the lockdowns and mask-ups. Then wait 3 weeks and viola you have you -—demic.

By going out of business.
Good for them, they get what they voted for!
Yes, embrace the Dark Side once again. Good. Good. Pain, suffering, and despondency is so well deserved by those who are stupid enough to vote for DemocRATs.
Using a mask that cones from a box that says NOT FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS to prevent the person-to-person transmission of an airborne respiratory virus is like using chicken wire to keep out mosquitos.
Note to folks in Philly: Use yer noggins. These aren’t masks. They’re muzzles.
Don’t get fooled again.
The mask Nazis just won’t give it up.
I’ll be in Philadelphia for work tomorrow. I won’t be complying.
It will NEVER end. They are tyrants and they will never relent until the people throw them out of power.
Communists NEVER relinquish even the smallest type of control over their serfs...
Unless it is to replace it with something far more extreme...
‘The National Institutes of Health said symptoms of the flu and COVID-19 may present the same but are caused by different viruses.
‘“Distinguishing COVID from flu can be difficult because the symptoms overlap so much,”’

Bastard commies!
You mean the test kits that have cancer-causing chemicals in them? They can shove their kits and their mandates up their Marxist rectums.

From the horse’s mouth. Scroll down and look for the teeny weeny print that tells discerning readers that PA counts probables as new cases...
More here....

“Counts include both confirmed and probable cases as defined by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). At present, a person is counted as a case only once....”
At present...?
Okaaaay.....
Continuing proof, as if it were needed, the stats are CRAP.
So Philadelphia has learned nothing.
