Philadelphia New Mask Mandates

Under the new mask mandate, masks will be required to be worn indoors at businesses where proof of vaccination is not required. The city will also implement a mask mandate on unseated outdoor events with 1,000 or more people.

Philadelphia businesses and institutions that require vaccination for all employees and patrons are exempted from having a mask requirement.

In businesses that do not require everyone who enters to be vaccinated, everyone will still need to wear a mask.

The city also says indoor dining may continue, and masks will not need to be worn if proof of vaccination is required for staff and patrons. If restaurants do not require proof of vaccination, masks are required by all patrons and staff while not seated and eating or drinking.
