(26 Mar 2020) Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has ordered the closure of the city's lakefront, trails and nearby parks after people congregated in those areas, ignoring Gov. J.B. Pritzker's stay-at-home order.
Lightfoot issued the order during a news conference Thursday.
The mayor also cited information that indicated the city could see an additional 40,000 hospitalizations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
