“Philadelphia actually did away with the CDC guidelines as the standard and they’ve invented their own guidelines,” King III told Eyewitness News. “They’re making this stuff up. I want to see the state commonwealth court strike down this mandate as a violation of Pennsylvania law.” Kevin Lessard, communications director of the Philadelphia mayor’s office, said officials were “unable to comment on this particular case” but cited a court’s denial of an emergency motion by another plaintiff for a preliminary injunction against the mandate. Lessard said “the courts once again confirmed that city has both the legal authority and requisite flexibility to enact the precautionary measures necessary to control the spread of COVID-19.
As of Monday, the city is moving to a Level 2 mask precaution, meaning masks are required indoors at public places like businesses, schools, and daycares. As of now, health officials say Philadelphia is averaging about 142 cases per day. Meanwhile, King III says this mandate is a step in the wrong direction and businesses in Philadelphia will take a hit.
