A number of Chicago residents stood together in the Little Village neighborhood Sunday, pleading for the city to reinstate its COVID-19 mask mandate to prevent a possible surge following another uptick in cases.
Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez, of the city's 25th Ward, along with members of the People's Response Network, expressed concerns about mask mandates being lifted locally and nationwide.
In late February, both the state of Illinois and city of Chicago rescinded their mask mandates after sustained decreases in the number of new cases and hospitalizations. Protesters argue Chicago's Department of Public Health didn't do a good job at handling the pandemic and said the city's Black and Brown communities are still at risk. The group also presented a list of demands, including reintroducing the mask mandate across the city and in Chicago Public Schools.
