\u201cI know this news will be disappointing for many Philadelphians,\u201d said Kenney at his press conference. \u201cIt was not an easy decision to make. But as we continue to battle COVID-19 and try to restore some sense of normalcy in our city, we know there will be many difficult decisions to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Events held in private venues\u00a0also exempt from ban<\/h2>\n

Furthermore, city officials have made it clear that the ban does not cover events held in private spaces,\u00a0such as sports stadiums<\/a>, concert venues and other performance spaces, which means that football games held at the Lincoln Financial Field are exempted from the moratorium.<\/p>\n

Thomas Farley, Commissioner of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, clarified that, even though sporting events may continue,<\/strong> they will have to do so without fans physically present in the stadium.<\/strong> The Managing Director of the City of Philadelphia, Brian Abernathy, said that events held in private performance venues will also have to follow similar city health guidelines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
