Wearing a non-medical mask can help protect others from #COVID19. Some people can spread the virus when they have very mild symptoms or may not know that they have it. A mask helps to contain droplets from talking, laughing, singing, coughing, or sneezing: ow.ly/cc1h50AXMS4

Strains from Europe and Eastern Canada account for most COVID-19 cases in B.C., genomic data shows | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…; great example of what genomics can do for COVID-19, but the data for this observation should be made publicly available to support the statement!

COVID-19 is not the “Chinese virus." It is a worldwide pandemic. My administration stands with the Asian community in rejecting these falsehoods and racism. Chicago’s response to this pandemic will be determined by science and compassion, not fear and bigotry.
