The findings served as a warning to businesses to enforce mask use and physical distancing, among other measures, as states loosen capacity restrictions. "Opening up settings such as bars, where mask wearing and physical distancing are challenging, can affect the community," the CDC report reads. While the total number of attendees was unclear, the bar could accommodate about 100 people, the health agency wrote. The Illinois Department of Public Health was alerted of the outbreak through a state reporting system, and investigated the outbreak with local health officials, per the CDC. The CDC ultimately advised businesses to work with local health officials to tamp down infection risk that can go on to affect the community.
