Brian Fritz is an attorney representing the “Philadelphia Restaurant Owners Group v. Lockdown” and is seeking an emergency order to close the indoor dining on Friday at 5 p.m.
“We have no reports and no studies if somehow restaurant restaurants are linked to an infection. How is eating at a restaurant in Philadelphia more dangerous than going to Lowe’s, Mart’s Mart, Vava or the city’s Christmas village?” Says Fritz.
Business owners argue that they should be able to work with the safety measures put in place in July when many of the restrictions from Spring have been removed.
The lawsuit claims that the city’s “safer at home” unconstitutionally has restrictions on indoor dining. (Read the lawsuit Here.)
When implemented the new sanctions Jim also delivers a very big impact.
Stephen Kindler is president and CEO of the group of franchisees and says there is no point in closing the gym, adding that there is no evidence of a high transmission.
“I have four franchises within a mile of the Nowhere complex – the fact that the Eagles can work and the townspeople can’t do it is a tough shot to swallow,” Kindler said.
The city’s top health official, Dr. Thomas pharlie defended the decision, saying that it is a dangerous time for virus infection.
“What was safe now is now dangerous with climate change. Many businesses feel they have put safety measures in place, sure they have, and I’m sure there’s no spread and that’s true in many places. Remember “There’s more people were doing before the virus,” Farley said.
The new restrictions take effect at 5pm on Friday and extend at least until the end of the year.
City officials said dramatic steps need to be taken to respond to the additional developments in cases and hospital admissions.
On Thursday, health officials in Philadelphia announced .We have confirmed cases of the 765 additional COVID-19. That brings the number of confirmed cases to 57,237.
The number of residents who have died from the virus in Philadelphia is 1,945.
Philly COVID sanctions are expected to have a major economic impact
It was expected that there would be time for business to go as planned, but recent COVID-19 restrictions in Philadelphia have derailed those plans.
On Monday, a list of measures to prevent the spread of the virus in the city was announced, including a ban on gatherings and meals at restaurants.

“What this impact will mean is that this year we will lose millions of visitors, billions of economic influence and thousands of jobs,” said Jeff Guaracino of Visa Philadelphia.
Under the ban, indoor dining is banned, museums are closed, and large gatherings such as parades – which draw tourists to hotels and nightlife – are banned.
Christmas Village is an exception, but will generally festivals in different Dilworth Park.
Guaracino says they are focusing on what is open.
“Our concern is supporting retail, small businesses, black and brown businesses, restaurants,” he said. “So they can avoid it.”

Ben Filsickia of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association says the indoor dining ban is lingering.
“We are going to see more and more people are going out of business, laid off more employees,” he said. “Rest restaurant industry is the second largest employer in the state of Pennsylvania.”
Philadelphia has a stake in state restaurants in Philadelphia and they need funding quickly, Philsykia said.
To date, the City of Philadelphia has received a combined 6 16,616 million in COVID relief grants and federal funding. The city also urges the state to allocate some of the remaining 1 1 billion in care received from the federal government.
“Based on our population, we’ve asked that Philadelphia receive a direct allocation of 120 120 million from the remaining shares of Pennsylvania’s CRF funds,” city spokesman Mike Dunn told Action News.
Meanwhile, Guaracino said he is also looking forward to 2021.
“Tourism will come back,” he said. “We’ll get there eventually.”
