Health officials in Chicago say there’s no evidence that the recent Lollapalooza music festival was a ‘super spreader’ event.
Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady said Thursday that only 203 COVID-19 cases have been identified in the two weeks since the festival, which was attended by nearly 400,000 people.
Attendees had to offer proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test from the past 72 hours in order to attend.
Would you feel safe attending a big concert right now? Will we see another Lollapalooza-size festival this year, or do you expect them to be cancelled as infections rise?
