The Philadelphia Department of Health is reinstituting its mask requirement for public indoor spaces casinos due to increasing daily cases of Covid-19. Beginning today, April 18, customers will be required to wear a mask in the city’s two casinos, Rivers Casino Philadelphia and Live! Casino Philadelphia.
“I hoped we wouldn’t be meeting like this, but here we are,” city Health Commissioner Cheryl Bettigole said during a Philadelphia Department of Health press conference last week. “We hope by having folks mask up in public indoor spaces we can get ahead of the wave and keep it from reaching a peak like we saw in January.”
Philadelphia is the first major city to reinstate its mask mandate.
