Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that Chicago won’t have to wait for Independence Day to reopen everything. The city officially joins Illinois in fully reopening on June 11th.
Because you've masked up, socially distanced and got vaccinated, we're now moving to Phase 5 on Friday, June 11 in alignment with the state.
This means Chicago is scheduled to fully reopen. 🎉#OpenChicago https://t.co/Vsy821fiJK

Phase 5 means that there will be no more capacity limits, and large events like conventions and festivals can take place.
As long as there is no resurgence of coronavirus cases, we won’t be going backward to previous phases.
