PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia officials announced the city s ban on indoor dining, gatherings, gym operations, and more has been extended through mid January.
During a news conference Tuesday, Philadelphia Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said the city has extended the ban on certain activities through Jan. 15. It s too risky to end the restrictions on Jan. 1 or Jan. 4, Farley said. The city s restrictions were initially planned to end on Jan. 1. The state s restrictions are set to expire on Jan. 4.
