Lightfoot initially voiced opposition to vaccination passport policies implemented by other major cities such as Los Angeles and New York, even dismissing an aldermanic proposal for a similar citywide mandate earlier this year. But now Lightfoot says the city’s substantial transmission rates necessitate new restrictions. She said these rules will remain in place “through this Omicron-driven surge and the risk of overwhelming hospital capacity has passed.”
