This post is outdated and has been archived. The Isolation and Quarantine Hotel closed in March 2022. For the latest information about COVID-19, visit phila.gov/covid.

The Bounce Back Philly (BBP) program of the Department of Public Health provides resources and support to people who need to safely separate from their friends and family when they have or have been exposed to COVID-19.

BBP offers a free, safe, and comfortable room in a private Center City hotel to anyone who cannot safely separate. Every Philadelphian is eligible to stay at the Isolation & Quarantine (I&Q) Hotel, regardless of immigration status.

How does it work?

When a Philadelphian gets COVID-19 or is exposed to someone with COVID-19 and has nowhere to stay or safely isolate, they can call us to request temporary housing at the I&Q Hotel.  We will ask the caller a few questions to ensure their eligibility. Once we finish our review and determine the caller is a good fit for the hotel, we call the person back and arrange for free van transportation to our Center City location. Once the guest arrives, our I&Q staff at the hotel take over to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.
