Mayor Lori Lightfoot is enlisting Chicago sports teams in a full-court-press campaign to convince young people responsible for a recent uptick in coronavirus cases to stop their risky behavior.
At a news conference at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of her beloved White Sox, Lightfoot unveiled a public service and education campaign she called, “We Are All One Team.”
The goal is to convince young people and young adults oblivious to the dangers of COVID-19 to start wearing face masks, stop socializing in large groups and maintain social distance to avoid putting themselves and their older and more vulnerable family members in jeopardy.
