Chicago officials: "No evidence" Lollapalooza was superspreader event

• 0.16% of unvaccinated attendees tested positive.
• No hospitalizations or deaths have been reported as of Wednesday.

Of the 203 total cases that have been reported, 58 were Chicago residents, 138 were non-Chicago Illinois residents and seven lived outside of the state.

What they're saying: "We've had no unexpected findings at this point. There’s no evidence at this point of a superspreader event, and there's no evidence of substantial impact to Chicago's COVID epidemiology," Arwady said during a news conference.

• Chicago is still seeing a rise in cases. New cases are up by 39% since last week, and COVID-related hospital visits are up by 6%, per ABC Chicago.

The big picture: The festival was held at full capacity between July 29 and Aug. 1 after it was canceled last year due to the pandemic. To attend, guests had to be fully vaccinated or have a negative test taken within three days prior to attendance.

• Unvaccinated individuals needed to wear a mask.

Of note: Several musicians and concert workers have been urging fans to get vaccinated so that live events can continue to take place, Insider reports.
