Cases of COVID-19 have been rising rapidly throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and across the country. The risk of getting COVID-19 is high whenever you come into close proximity with people who do not live in your household.

Because of the recent increase in COVID-19 cases across the United States, the Health Department is not issuing guidance for specific locations. Instead it has issued the following general recommendations:

• Avoid all unnecessary travel.
• If you must travel for an urgent matter:
  • Stay six feet apart from anyone not in your household.
  • Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer frequently.
  • Wear a mask whenever you are around others.
  • Do not travel with someone who is sick or tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days.
• Do not travel if you are sick, if someone in your household is sick, or if you have had contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last two weeks.
• People who have exposure to COVID-19 should quarantine at home for two weeks.

The Health Department recommends that travelers also consult the Pennsylvania Department of Health travel recommendations before considering any travel.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tips on how to travel safely during COVID-19 and a map with recent rates of COVID-19 case by states.

The Coronavirus Interim Racial Equity Plan summarizes what the Health Department knows about racial and ethnic inequities and COVID-19, and what we are doing and planning to reduce those disparities. Read the plan.
