Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday said she wants restaurants and bars in her city to open for indoor services as soon as possible. She plans to discuss with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on how to lift the statewide indoor dining ban.
“I am very, very focused on getting our restaurants reopened. If we look at the various criteria that the state has set, we are meeting most if not all of those,” Lightfoot said at a press conference. “So that’s a conversation that I will have with the governor. But I want to get our restaurants and our bars reopened as quickly as possible.”
