If you're visiting a public space in Philadelphia, you should wear a face mask whether you're vaccinated or not, according to new guidance issued by the Philadelphia health department on Thursday.

As of this week more than 1 million people have received at least one dose of a vaccine in Philadelphia, Mayor Jim Kenney said in a statement.

That total translates to 60.8% of adults being fully vaccinated and 73.9% having received at least one dose, according to the Philadelphia Department of Health.

"We will continue to vaccinate anyone who is ready, and encourage them to join the million-plus people who received this life-saving vaccine in Philadelphia," Kenney said.

Cheryl Bettigole said officials are seeing a "small but disturbing increase" in hospitalizations among children with cases doubling as of late.

That means  getting fully vaccinated if you haven't yet, and it means all of us going back to wearing masks in public," Bettigole said in a written statement.
