Hundreds Gather For Wedding At Hilton Chicago/Northbrook With No Masks
The bride walked into a room filled with hundreds on her special day. All eyes were on her, and no masks were on to block the smiles.
NORTHBROOK, IL (CBS) — Hundreds of people crowded into a hotel ballroom on Wednesday, toasting newlyweds. But in the middle of a pandemic, how is that allowed? That is what we wanted to know, too. So CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar headed to the Hilton Chicago/Northbrook to find out.
The wedding at the hotel could be described as a potential COVID-19 super-spreader event, and on the same day Illinois hit the grim milestone of 238 deaths in one day — the most since the start of the pandemic. The national death toll was also a record for a single day.
