Thousands per day could be vaccinated at the site, which officials plan to announce Friday, Ald. Walter Burnett said.

The city is seeing an average of five deaths per day, down from an average of nine deaths per day the week prior. That's the lowest that figure has been in months.

Residents should remove their chairs, cones and other objects to prevent them being thrown away, according to Streets and Sanitation.

The abrupt end meant aldermen couldn't approve hundreds of millions of dollars for people who need help, Mayor Lightfoot said. "In a time where people are hurting and bearing an inordinate burden, what we need is progress, not parliamentary tactics."

At least 20,374 people have died from COVID-19 in Illinois, and another 2,201 deaths are probably related to the virus.

Chicago, which has its own coronavirus vaccination campaign, won't do the same because doses are still too limited, officials have said.

That means "we're getting closer and closer to widespread availability that we all want," Gov. JB Pritzker said.

Uno de cada nueve habitantes de Chicago ha recibido su primera dosis de la vacuna de COVID-19, mientras que uno de cada cuatro residentes mayores de 65 años ha sido vacunado.

It's possible individual businesses will require employees to get vaccinated, or people might need to prove they're vaccinated to travel, Dr. Allison Arwady said.

People experiencing homelessness have been uniquely vulnerable to the virus.

Even more nice weather is expected: Wednesday will be partly sunny with a predicted high of 40 degrees.

One in nine Chicagoans has now gotten their first shot of a COVID-19 vaccine, and that number rises to one in four Chicagoans among people 65 and older.

As the pandemic has started to subside across the United States, there are now 18 states and two territories in the system's less serious category.

The Welcoming City ordinance closes loopholes that allowed the Police Department to work with ICE, protecting undocumented immigrants.

Playgrounds and pools will reopen over the next few weeks, though the city is asking people to take safety steps — like social distancing — when visiting them.

The most recent victims included 24 people from Cook County, including two men in their 40s and a man in his 50s.

The week will be sunny — and it could even hit the 40s on Tuesday.

At least 20,269 people have died from COVID-19 in Illinois, and another 2,197 deaths are probably related to the virus.

La tasa de positividad del 3.5 por ciento de este viernes es incluso más baja que los índices que la ciudad tuvo durante el verano.

Lightfoot did not say why the city needed to spend more than $280 million on law enforcement as part of its response to the pandemic.
