Philadelphia will lift COVID restrictions on June 11, according to today’s announcement by city officials, except for a mask mandate.

Some restrictions will be lifted or eased next week. Beginning Friday, May 21, there will be no density limits for retail stores, offices, libraries and museums. Philadelphia is also lifting restrictions on outdoor pools. Also, people will be able to purchase and consume alcohol without having to purchase food.

Currently, indoor dining capacity in Philadelphia restaurants is 50 percent (75 percent for eateries with enhanced ventilation standards). These restrictions will remain in place until June 11, but starting next Friday customers will be allowed to sit closer to one another with 3 feet apart, which will allow restaurants to have more guests at the same time.

A more detailed guide to Philadelphia reopening will be released by this Friday.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has announced that the state (except Philadelphia) would lift all capacity-related restrictions on Memorial Day.

Philadelphia officials have also urged residents to get vaccinated before attending a public event.
