This also gives our outreach teams and providers more time to engage people experiencing homelessness to offer housing and other services. Even with limited access, the City and partners have been able to place 30+ individuals in shelter, recovery, or COVID-19 prevention space. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re postponing the closure of the Parkway encampment because conversations with the group are ongoing. We appreciate their willingness to continue talks, and I’m hopeful that we will reach a peaceful resolution soon. https://t.co/kcKQZ2yOLX — PolitiTweet.org

The public events moratorium announced yesterday was specific to those requiring a permit—like festivals and parades. Sporting events will be determined by the team and City based on current guidance as COVID-19 evolves. The Eagles will continue to communicate directly with fans. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm disappointed to confirm that we are canceling large public events through February 28, 2021 due to the public health crisis. This was not an easy decision to make. The health and safety of residents, workers, and visitors must be our top priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

We've seen delays of up to 7 days for positive test results. If you are tested, please isolate until you get your result. We know this is an inconvenience. @PHLPublicHealth is working to figure out if we can redirect tests from the busiest labs to others to lessen the delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

We went weeks without new cases in our jails. Last week, one symptomatic inmate tested positive, so everyone in that unit was tested. Of the 65 asymptomatic inmates, 23 tested positive. They have been isolated and we're taking measures to control the spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Jim Kenney @PhillyMayor

Cases in congregate settings have largely been under control. In nursing homes, we see about 1 new case per day, and we usually discover it through asymptotic testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Recently, young people (under age 30) have accounted for 40% of new COVID-19 cases. This underscores the importance of avoiding social gatherings, especially for young people. More safety precautions: masks, distance, wash hands, reduce crowds, and work from home if possible. — PolitiTweet.org
