The World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic on March 11. Since the coronavirus pandemic people have been discarding used masks on the ground rather than dispensing them in the trash. MERRICK, NEW YORK - MARCH 31: A used mask lies outside of Pat's Farms grocery store on Main Merrick, New York. The pandemic has meant shortened hours and decreased tips at Chicago Waffles in the city’s South Loop, waitress Erika Estrada told WBBM. It also allows municipalities and businesses in most industries to enact their own coronavirus rules, including face mask requirements. The state still requires masks in schools and day care facilities.

The state has said fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask except where required by federal rules – such as those for airlines and public transportation – and local rules. “A strong economy requires that people not only feel safe, but truly be safe, as they go about their lives as workers, neighbors, consumers, and friends – and thanks to the lifesaving power of vaccinations, that day is finally here for Illinois,” Gov. Illinois’ seven-day average for new daily cases – 413 as of Thursday – is far below its peak for spring 2021 (3,388 on April 13) and its pandemic summit (12,384 on November 16), according to Johns Hopkins University. More than 68% of Illinois adults have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, the governor’s office said. The decision came after vaccinations soared and coronavirus cases dropped. The step eliminates all capacity limits on businesses, large-scale events, conventions, amusement parks and “all other venues,” the governor’s office said. Illinois officials called their move the final phase of the state’s five-stage reopening plan.

Los Angeles, with a population between New York and Chicago, has capacity restrictions for things such as shops, hair salons, gyms and indoor dining. New York’s governor has said even those statewide rules will be lifted soon, once the state sees 70% of its adults receive at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose.
