Multiple businesses and residents in Philadelphia have filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania state court seeking to overturn the city’s renewed indoor masking mandate for COVID-19.

Philadelphia Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole announced on April 11 that the city would reinstate indoor masking on April 18 in an effort to stem a surge of infections, after previously ending the mask mandate on March 2.
