Mask mandates are officially lifted across Illinois, including in Chicago, marking the end of a months-long requirement for many indoor public spaces.

However, in explaining his reason for the change, Pritzker cited the CDC's updated guidance recommending masks only in areas of high transmission. Chicago Public Schools officials reminded parents that the facial-covering requirements will remain in effect in the city’s educational facilities.
