Philadelphia’s Department of Public Health reports that the city’s 14-day average COVID-19 case count is down to 200. The weekly positivity rate has been below 5% since May 2.
There are currently 261 people being treated for COVID-19 in Philadelphia hospitals, and the city has reported 43 deaths in the past week.
“We’re not out of the woods yet, but we’ve seen clear improvement over the past few months as more and more Philadelphians received their vaccines, and I cannot stress enough, as we talk this morning, that the vaccines make us safe,” said Dr. Cheryl Bettigole, the city’s new acting health commissioner.
