In addition to the Lollapalooza vaccine requirement or COVID testing, masks are now mandated indoors on day 3.
CHICAGO (WLS) — As day three of Lollapalooza begins Saturday, new rules are in place. Changes are happening across Chicago, as rising COVID-19 cases have health officials cracking down to slow the spread. When the gates open Saturday, concertgoers at Lollapalooza will be required to wear masks in all indoor spaces, regardless of vaccination status. The new policy follows the city’s latest guidance, as Chicago officials now urge everyone to wear a mask indoors. The new mask advisory comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that the delta variant can be spread by people who are fully vaccinated and have a breakthrough infection. But there are mixed opinions. »We’re hoping that this is as far as it goes. We definitely don’t want to see a mandate, » said Sam Sanchez, chair of the Illinois Restaurant Association. At Lolla, you must wear a mask in indoor spaces like the merchandise shop, hospitality lounges, wristband help tents and the box office.
