The city moves to an “all-clear” COVID-19 severity level.
Philadelphia said Wednesday it will stop enforcing its indoor face mask mandate effective immediately.The all-clear level applies when the average daily count of new cases falls below 100, with hospitalizations under 50 and less than two percent of COVID-19 tests coming back positive.
Face masks are still required in schools, although the city said it plans to end the requirement March 9 if the present infection trend continues. Masks also will be required for one week following spring break. “There’s nothing wrong with this and these people do not deserve harassment. Some may have a family member that is at high-risk, some may be sick and are actually protecting you, and some may just want to be safe. All of those, and more, are valid reasons to keep wearing masks,” the city said.
