And now, Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano.

All right.

Today is November 17th and Tuesday.

Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning.

In the news this morning yesterday, Philadelphia leaders announced sweeping new restrictions as the number of COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the city. Mayor Jim Kenney and Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley announced the measures during a news conference on Monday afternoon. I know these measures are tough.

If we do this right, our businesses will recover faster because the epidemic wave will subside sooner.
