Increased COVID-19 Positivity Rate In Chicago Prompts Mayor's Warning That Ballparks, Bars Could Be Closed
Chicago's COVID-19 positivity rate has grown rom 2.8% on March 1 to 4.5% at the end of the month.
The mayor is calling the increase a "quantum leap." With that comes a warning from the city's Office of Emergency Management about the upcoming baseball season -- if cases continue to rise ballparks and bars around them will be closed.
