Indoor masking once again ‘strongly recommended’ in Chicago as COVID-19 numbers increase
Air travelers, some with face masks and others without, line up for their flights on April 19, 2022 at Midway International Airport in Chicago. A federal judge overturned the CDC mask mandate for federal transportation including airplanes and trains.
Martinez noted the positivity rate of the district’s in-school COVID-19 testing program is 0.68% while the city’s positivity rate is 3.9%. The 0.68% positivity rate is the highest for the district’s testing program since January, near the end of the highly contagious omicron variant. CPS case numbers have been rising since students returned from spring break last month.
The developments come one week after suburban Cook County areas reached the medium risk level, prompting officials to also recommend indoor masking, and as COVID-19 numbers climb across Illinois. Still, Amaal Tokars, acting director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said in statement Friday that the agency “would stress this not a cause for alarm.”Those at greater risk for severe outcomes from COVID should “exercise caution,” and everyone should make sure they are up to date on their vaccinations, she said.
