Philly Releases Green Phase Plans with Hopes Salons Can Open Sooner
The earliest date the city expects to go to the green phase is Friday, July 3. Governor Tom Wolf’s reopening plan is called Reopening with Care
“I’m excited to see the progress Philadelphia has made against this epidemic. But we will be cautious on how we reopen. Philadelphia is uniquely at risk, as the most densely populated county in the state, with the highest number of cases and deaths from COVID. We don’t want to see a second wave of this epidemic. We will be more careful and will be more restrictive than the Commonwealth in what activities are allowed and how they can operate,” Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said during a Thursday afternoon press conference.
