To prevent Philadelphia’s hospitals from becoming overwhelmed it is imperative that the City of Philadelphia immediately implement a series of proven public health measures including "shelter-in-place" to slow the spread of coronavirus. These measures have been implemented in the Bay Area and are being contemplated for NYC. Key elements of San Francisco's shelter-in-place order include:

The City issued a Public Health Order requiring people to stay home except for essential needs. Vulnerable populations must stay home. Everyone should stay home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. It is OK to go outside for walks if you are not in a group. Stay at least 6 feet apart when leaving your home for essential activities.
