Among the announcements: some fans may attend sporting events.
The health commissioner, dr. Thomas Farley, however, said the relaxed constraints depend on consistent, universal mask use.
The following will come into effect on Monday 1 March:
SPORTS EVENTS
Meetings are allowed up to the limits of the state
-2 500 people for outdoor events in total, 500 people for indoor events
“If the state relaxes its limits further, we will consider whether we want to comply with it,” Farley said. “It’s a step closer to us to be normal again.”
This is good news for Phillies fans, as Citizens Bank Park is an outdoor venue. The Phillies home opener is on April 1 and season tickets are advertised for sale.
However, fans will not yet be allowed inside the Wells Fargo Center for Sixers and Flyers games.
The total number of people allowed includes not only fans but also staff members. The WFC said more than 500 employees are needed on-site for a match when fans attend.
“We are in direct communication with city and state officials to determine when we can further increase our capacity and welcome fans back into the arena,” said Valerie Camillo, business president for the Philadelphia Flyers and Wells Fargo Center. .
