Chicago's proof of COVID vaccine mandate has slowed down business even more during the already slow month of January, some restaurants said.
Customers often spend less after the holidays, and the cold weather and fear of the omicron variant are keeping them inside. Now some businesses say the new rule is adding to it.
"It's nothing we are doing against them, we are just trying to keep the business afloat and keep everybody healthy," she said. Nuevo Leon customer Julio Quiles said he and his family had COVID last month. He and his friends didn't know about the new rule when they came into the restaurant earlier this week, but Friday they were back with their vaccination cards at the ready.
