FOX 29's Lauren Johnson has all the latest details. PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia officials on Tuesday began removing dozens of people who have been sleeping at the city's airport during the coronavirus pandemic and planned to administer rapid COVID-19 tests before taking them to homeless shelters.
Officials at Philadelphia International Airport had initially planned Friday to remove the between 50 and 100 homeless people who have been sleeping at a baggage claim area underutilized during stay-at-home orders.
But airport and city officials agreed to wait until Tuesday after homeless advocates threatened to file a lawsuit if the people were moved to shelters without being tested.
