In the coming weeks some states will be dropping their mask mandates and Illinois is one of those states. The last day that the mask mandate will be enforced is Feb. 28. But that is the state, not necessarily the city of Chicago.
The CDC is taking a close look at these mandates falling off and I'm with them. I would be looking side-eyed too if I live in a state where COVID cases are dropping but right down the street in another state they are out of control! Bottom line is a pandemic does not have borders, so just because numbers are decreasing in one location doesn't mean they are in another.
As long as we're in a pandemic, guess who's going to keep wearing a mask? Yup, this girl. I'm not playing with all these viruses.
