Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady warned the advance to the high risk level was coming.
-- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added 15 Illinois counties to the high community risk level for COVID-19 – including Chicago, suburban Cook County, and the collar counties.The counties now on the high community level are Cook County – apparently including both the city of Chicago and suburban Cook County – as well as DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Will, and Grundy counties.
"We are not reinstating the mask or vaccine requirement mandates, because the health system in Chicago remains stable," Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection Commissioner Ken Meyer said. Arwady also urged people to avoid large gatherings, test if they have symptoms, and get booster shots of COVID-19 vaccine.
The city is averaging 28 new COVID-19 hospitalizations per day, compared to more than 300 per day at the peak of the Omicron surge earlier this year. Yet plenty of people are against covering their faces again as the weather warms up. Jose Casal says he will not do it.Casal was visiting from Puerto Rico. He is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and is one who believes the vaccines are enough.
