(AbsoluteNews.com) – Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot gave residents a stern warning over the weekend saying they will be cited and even jailed if they do not comply with social distancing and stay-at-home orders.

She went on to say she was worried that the “nice weather” would potentially cause an increase in coronavirus cases as people would stop following the state’s guidelines altogether.

In the past 24 hours (May 5), the state of Illinois has had 2,341 new COVID-19 cases with a total of 63,840.
