Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday she’s not prepared to “put an artificial date” on lifting Chicago’s mask and proof of vaccine mandates — even though the city is making “tremendous progress” in dealing with the Omicron surge.
When Gov. Pritzker announced last week he would lift his indoor mask mandate for most public settings by Feb. 28, the Chicago Department of Public Health released a statement signaling its intention follow the state’s lead on that day unless the metrics take a sharp turn for the worse.
