Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday issued a stay-at-home advisory effective Monday at 6:00 AM in response to “rising Covid-19 cases.”

Once again, far left tyrant Lori Lightfoot is using Covid to abuse Chicagoans with authoritarian lockdown orders. Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot announced a new 30-day stay-at-home advisory as COVID-19 cases have escalated in the city and the state of Illinois.

Effective Monday, private gatherings are restricted to 10 people. Mayor Lightfoot has urged everyone to cancel all traditional Thanksgiving plans, stop having guests over who do not live in the home, and avoid non-essential out-of-state travel.

It doesn’t look like a full lockdown of all businesses — at least not yet — as the Chicago Sun-Times writes that “Fitness clubs, retail stores, hairdressers, barbershops and movie theaters that have their own capacity mandates are not impacted by the 10-person limit.”

The announcement comes as the virus continues to rapidly spread across the state. Illinois hit a record high in average daily news cases Wednesday, with cases now up more than 60% compared to a week ago, according to CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

“This is serious life and death,” Lightfoot said during a press conference discussing the state-at-home advisory, adding that the city is “doing what is necessary” to slow the spread of the virus. “We are sounding the alarm that we are at this inflection point where we have to do more than we’ve already done.”

Lori Lightfoot told Chicagoans not to gather with family members. This is pure Marxism.

Yet, only a few days after Election day, she gathered with hundreds of Democrats to prematurely celebrate Joe Biden’s so-called victory.

WATCH:

In April, Lori Lightfoot got a haircut after she locked down The Windy City and lectured people about getting their hair done…but Lightfoot is a typical far-left elitist.

A week later a photo was released of Mayor Lightfoot getting her hair done. “It was essential.”

Lightfoot defended her haircut saying, “I’m the public face of this city and you know, I’m a person who [takes] personal hygiene very seriously and I felt like I needed to have a haircut. So I got a haircut.”
