PHILADELPHIA – City officials today provided the following updates in response to the ongoing demonstrations throughout the city.

Curfew: Mayor Kenney today renewed the overnight mandatory curfew for this evening and Tuesday evening. The mandatory, citywide curfew will again be in effect this evening, starting at 6 p.m. and continuing through 6 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2, 2020. Only persons with essential duties will be permitted outdoors during the curfew hours.

For Tuesday, June 2, 2020, the start of the curfew will be pushed back until 8:30 p.m. due to the primary election. The later start will allow evening voters time to return home before the curfew begins.

Road Closures: In light of continuing demonstrations, and in order to facilitate access for first responders, the City has closed some streets in Center City. The closure area runs from Market Street to Walnut Street, from the Delaware River to the Schuylkill River. The closure continues until further notice. SEPTA bus, subway, and trolley access will also be restricted. Residents and business operators within Center City will be permitted access.

City Government Operations: Due to the continued demonstrations, City of Philadelphia buildings in Center City, such as the Quadplex (City Hall, MSB, One Parkway, and CJC), 1234 Market, 11th and Market, and others will be closed tomorrow, June 2, 2020. Public safety, all field personnel, and those who are not assigned to Center City locations should report to work as regularly scheduled. Employees who are able to work virtually will continue to do so.

City Health Centers Closed: All City-run COVID-19 testing sites and health centers will be closed tomorrow, June 2, 2020. There are still dozens of free COVID-19 testing sites open throughout Philadelphia. Residents should check the testing site map and call ahead: http://phila.gov/testing.

Primary Election: Tomorrow’s primary election in Philadelphia will be held as scheduled. The Mayor’s Office, the Managing Director’s Office, Police Department, and the Office of Emergency Management have been working with the Philadelphia City Commissioners to assist in Tuesday’s primary election voting. Joining in that work has been the Pennsylvania Department of State and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA).

The City’s Emergency Operations Center already planned to be active for the election before the events from the last few days transpired. Tomorrow, representatives from the EOC will be embedded in the election headquarters, and will be monitoring activity and reacting accordingly. The City will provide PPE to poll workers, gloves to voters, and encourage all Philadelphians to wear a mask. “I am hopeful that despite the situation, all Philadelphians will find a way to exercise their right to vote in this important election,” said the Mayor.

Those who have not already voted via mail-in can find their polling place at pollingplaces.philadelphiavotes.com where they can also find a list of mobile drop-off locations.

Pharmacy Needs: The Philadelphia Department of Public Health advises residents that if they need a prescription filled and their regular pharmacy is currently closed or inaccessible, they should first go to another store in the same pharmacy chain. All stores within a chain will have your prescription information.

If you cannot find a store in the same chain, go to an open store from a different pharmacy chain and ask the pharmacist to request your prescription information from the chain you regularly go to. If your regular pharmacy was not part of a chain or other pharmacists cannot get the information, you should contact your doctor to get a new prescription.
