Providing Information and Updates About COVID-19 in Philadelphia
This page compiles updates, information, and guidance related to the COVID-19 coronavirus in Philadelphia. Residents, business owners, event producers, and health care providers can use it to stay up to date on the evolving public health situation.
COVID-19 is a novel strain of coronavirus. It was first discovered in December 2019. The first cases were found in China and have since spread around the world.
