Chicago has issued dozens of citations to businesses for violating the state’s indoor mask requirement as shootings continue to dominate in the Windy City.
According to reports, Chicago’s Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) department has conducted over 100 investigations into such businesses, issuing 20 citations and 16 warnings between August 20 and 29 following the city’s reimplantation of an indoor mask mandate. Businesses cited included restaurants, grocery stores, and nightclubs.
Meanwhile, as Chicago cracks down businesses for violating local mask mandates, the city continues to experience dozens of shootings. The city saw at least 63 people shot, six fatally, over Labor Day weekend alone.
