Philadelphia officials are expected to announce new coronavirus COVID-19 restrictions on Monday, November 16 at an afternoon press conference. Cases have been rapidly rising in the city and state. Philadelphia has been posting record high daily case numbers, even higher than the spring. Although the positive cases have been high and hospitalizations are growing, deaths are not spiking. "We will be announcing additional restrictions on Monday. We're working out exactly what those will be right now, but people can expect that," said Philadelphia health commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley.

Everyone already has to wear a mask and there are tight restrictions on gathering size. Here are some possibilities for new restrictions: Indoor dining could be halted again. Outdoor dining will still be permitted, but with cold weather on the way that just won't be an option for many diners. Also, any non-essential business like gyms, spas, salons, movie theaters, etc. could be either closed or placed under curfew. Philadelphia may start to feel like it was in back in March and April. Officials are recommending that you keep holiday celebrations small and not to gather with people outside your household.

The City will be holding a press briefing on Monday, November 16 at 1pm to announce new COVID restrictions in response to the recent rise in new cases. You can follow the briefing here on our Twitter or on our Facebook Page: https://t.co/TpFdts2Z4y pic.twitter.com/AC0UkyTeZg

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the city, traditional holiday gatherings are now very dangerous. To reduce your risk, spend the holiday with your immediate household members only.
