PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia officials are asking the thousands of people who took to the streets of Philadelphia during the election to take steps to prevent COVID-19.
City officials said anyone who was out protesting or celebrating Joe Biden’s presidential victory over the weekend should quarantine for 14 days, and get tested for COVID-19.

The move comes as Pennsylvania averages nearly 3,000 new coronavirus cases a day as a spike in infections shows no sign of slowing.
