All are reminded that they should practice social distancing at all times. They’re encouraged to observe the flyover from the safety of their homes, and nobody should travel to see the flyover.

- The flyover will enter into Philadelphia around 1:55 pm. They're expected to fly overhead some of Philadelphia's most iconic landmarks.

We are all in this together.”
