COVID numbers are WAY up. So this week, health officials recommended that we go back to wearing masks indoors regardless of our vaccination status.
This is the case across most of the state... 84 out of 102 counties in Illinois are at or getting close to dangerous levels of new infections, including Cook, DuPage, McHenry & Will Counties.
Officials also say that even though Chicago is doing better than other parts of the country, our numbers have been trending up steadily and we could be headed for a mask mandate soon where you're required to wear them everywhere. Let's just hope that’s as far as it goes... the LAST thing anybody wants is another shutdown.
So put on the mask, get the vax if you can and let's ride this out before the wheels fall off. Be safe y’all!
