Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has announced the city will drop its mask mandate for most settings as well as its proof-of-vaccination mandate at restaurants, bars and other indoor establishments at the end of the month Monday, reflecting a renewed hope for normalcy in the city as COVID-19 cases continue dropping from alarming highs.he will lift his mask requirement
In making the announcement, Lightfoot thanked residents who have complied with the rules and acknowledged the hardships that have resulted from the pandemic and resulting restrictions, citing the restaurant industry in particular. Lightfoot’s announcement was widely expected. The city had said lifting the mandate will require three out of four COVID-19 metrics to fall to the lowest or second-lowest category of risk — and remain there for two consecutive weeks.
The Chicago Board of Education is poised to vote on a resolution at Wednesday’s monthly board meeting that would ratify district COVID-19 safety measures including universal masking of students and staff; testing for unvaccinated employees; and directing those who test positive or have been exposed to the virus to temporarily stay home.
Lightfoot announced the latest move as the national trend turns against masking and other restrictions due to broader social desires to return to “normal,” though some doctors and activists caution against people dropping their guard.
