• Illinois: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Tuesday announced that beginning Jan. 3, patrons who visit city bars, restaurants, gyms, and entertainment venues serving food or beverages will be required to show proof that they are fully vaccinated against the Covid-19. The rules will not apply to houses of worship, soup kitchens, K-12 schools, or day care centers, but they will apply to licensed venues that host private weddings and events. "Our restaurants and other venues are asking us to do this," Lightfoot said. "Not all are going to be happy, but I think most of them understand the necessity and they're on board with enforcing it."
