This week seems to have marked a turning point in the COVID-19 pandemic with the lifting of masking mandates and vaccine checks in Chicago. But as spring approaches, it’s also a reminder that we’ve been here before. LatinoVoicesWTTW
“We are at a place where it is safe to be lifting these requirements. I expect that a lot of folks will continue to wear masks in the short term, which I fully support. We continue to make the recommendations based on the risk here and now, which thankfully is low.”
Dr. Evelyn Figueroa, professor of clinical family medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago, and director of the Pilsen Food Pantry, said the city’s decision to relax masking now makes sense given infection rates. Now with a little room to breathe, Dr. Luna says the city is able to strategize for the future of living with COVID-19.
