Chicago Reinstates Indoor Mask Mandate Amid Rising Coronavirus Cases
HuffPost
The rule will apply to both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals as the city surpasses 400 COVID-19 cases per day.
Chicago announced on Tuesday that it is reinstating its indoor mask mandate for people regardless of their vaccination status, joining a growing number of cities and states responding similarly to rising COVID-19 cases. At a press conference, Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said that the rule will apply to indoor public settings in the city for people ages 2 and up, beginning Friday. When the city surpassed 200 coronavirus cases per day, it merely recommended indoor masking, but it is making that a requirement now that cases have passed 400 per day. “Once we get through the delta surge, I anticipate that [cases] will come back down,” Arwady said, adding that Chicago is currently averaging 419 COVID-19 diagnoses per day, moving up from the category of “substantial risk” to “higher risk.”
