“I look to New York to see what’s going on there, and I think it’s a cautionary tale for the rest of us,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, a Democrat, said in an interview Friday, a day when known cases in the United States rose above 100,000. “I look at New York and think, what do we do so that we are as prepared as possible as this begins to ramp up in a city like Chicago?”

The order allows people to shop for groceries, pick up medications and exercise, among other activities.
The areas around Cleveland, St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri, have also seen spikes, leading officials to warn that medical facilities could be overwhelmed.
