Philadelphia to Lift COVID Limits, Teams Can Have Full Crowds Starting June 11

In a zoom press conference, Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenny announced that starting June 11 the city will drop all capacity-related restrictions on businesses and activities — clearing the way for full crowds to return for the Phillies and 76ers.

But people will still be required to wear masks indoors and in crowded situations.

In addition, starting May 21, the city will begin to loosen COVID-19 restrictions. One of these changes is gatherings with fixed seating are now capped at 50% and people must be separated by three feet, as opposed to six feet, with masks still being worn.
