Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the move makes her city the largest US municipality to fully reopen.

"With today's announcement ... our economy is really poised to come roaring back," Lightfoot told CNN on Friday morning, adding in a later news conference:"Now it's time for you to get up, get out of the house this summer, and, fully and safely ... enjoy the events of the best city on the planet."

The chance to fully reopen is exciting, the owner of a coffee shop in Chicago's South Loop told CNN affiliate WBBM. Illinois officials called their move the final phase of the state's five-stage reopening plan. The step eliminates all capacity limits on businesses, large-scale events, conventions, amusement parks and"all other venues," the governor's office said.

"A strong economy requires that people not only feel safe, but truly be safe, as they go about their lives as workers, neighbors, consumers, and friends -- and thanks to the lifesaving power of vaccinations, that day is finally here for Illinois," Gov. JB Pritzker said in a news release.The state has said fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask except where required by federal rules -- such as those for airlines and public transportation -- and local rules.
