Following a Thursday morning press conference, Chicago Department of Public Health commissioner, Allison Arwady, took to Twitter to report the post-Lollapalooza COVID-19 case numbers so far. "We are now 14 days past the first day of Lolla and we are continuing to investigate cases of COVID," Arwady wrote."There have been no unexpected findings at this point and NO evidence at this point of 'super-spreader' event or substantial impact to Chicago’s COVID-19 epidemiology."Lollapalooza reported last week that 90% of its attendees -- an estimated 385,000, not including crew, staff, artists and their teams across four days -- were vaccinated.
Arwady also shared that in all, there are 203 current total COVID-19 cases identified with Lollapalooza attendees, traced by system onset or test date if asymptomatic. Fifty-eight were Chicago residents, 138 were non-Chicago Illinois residents and 7 reported cases were from out of state residents.Despite the seemingly positive report, it hasn't yet been two full weeks since the final day of the festival .
