Chamber Statement in Response to New COVID-19 Rules for Illinois

Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jack Lavin’s Statement In Response to the New COVID-19 Rules for Illinois:

“With COVID-19 cases rising across Chicago and the state of Illinois, we must do everything in our power to protect ourselves, those around us, and our path to economic recovery. Businesses are in a unique position to change the trajectory of this pandemic, which is why the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce has called on businesses to review and implement policies that require all employees be vaccinated before returning to the worksite, unless a valid health or religious reason is presented. Masks are an essential tool in preventing the spread of the virus, and we support the Governor’s indoor mask order as a common-sense way to help ensure businesses stay open and are able to get people back to work,” said Jack Lavin, President & CEO, Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.
