People will no longer need to wear a mask outside in Philadelphia starting Friday when the city lifts its outdoor mask mandate.
This means Phillies fans will no longer need masks at Citizens Bank Park.
The city is asking residents and visitors to wait a bit longer to relax its indoor mask guidance, Philadelphia s acting health commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole said Wednesday.
On that day, masks will no longer be needed outdoors. This means masks will no longer be required at outdoor gatherings, restaurants, performances, and sporting events. Dr. Bettigole says this goes for fully vaccinated people and not vaccinated, but she recommends everyone get the vaccine.

It was 36 years ago that city officials targeting The Movement, a Black liberation group, flew a helicopter over a West Philadelphia home and dropped a bomb on top of it killing 11 people, five of them children.
Officials let the subsequent massive fire burn. More than 60 houses in the predominantly Black neighborhood were reduced to rubble.
More than three decades later, “the scars of the West Philly bombing continue to devastate Philadelphia’s Black community,” Abdul-Aliy Muhammad wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
