Mask Mandate Imposed in City of Chicago

Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office today had a press conference today and announced an indoor mask mandate for EVERYONE over the age of 2 (vaccinated and non-vaccinated) for the City of Chicago beginning on Friday, August 20th. With the city at over 400 cases the new policy will remain in place until Chicago’s case count goes consistently under 400.

The mandate will apply to places including gyms, common areas of apartment or condo complexes, private clubs and bars and restaurants, though patrons will be able to remove their masks while eating or drinking. Masks can be removed in workplaces that are not open to the public, if employees are “static” and can maintain 6 feet of social distancing, according to a city news release. Businesses in Chicago will be required to enforce the mask mandate.

Seminars will be held about the new mask mandate on Thursday at 10am and Friday at 1pm. Click here to register.
