But the latest restrictions are different, both for the vaccination exception and because they don\u2019t include capacity limits or social distancing requirements,\u201d the Inquirer continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso new: Unvaccinated city employees will need to wear two masks while working indoors and new hires after Sept. 1 must be vaccinated,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n<p>Kenney also said he is amazed by Philadelphia residents who are hesitant about the vaccine.

Regardless, I understand the frustration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestaurant owners are among the hardest hit by the pandemic. I\u2019m sorry if my decision hurt those who\u2019ve worked to keep their businesses going under difficult circumstances.
