- Two weeks after the 385,000-person event took place, 203 Covid-19 cases have been reported.
Chicago's top health official says that Chicago music festival Lollapalooza was not a super-spreader event.
Two weeks have passed since the 385,000-person event went down, and Chicago's Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady claims there has been no evidence of a super-spreader event or "substantial impact to Chicago's COVID-19 epidemiology."
So far, 203 Covid-19 cases have been linked to the four-day festival, of which the crowd was predominantly vaccinated. 0.04 percent of those vaccinated tested positive, while 0.16 percent of unvaccinated attendees were infected. As of yesterday, zero deaths or hospitalizations connected to these cases have been reported.
