A metro train enters an empty Harold Washington Library station in The Loop in downtown Chicago on Saturday, March 21. Harold Washington Library is the central library in the Chicago public library system and the area is home to multiple universities. At the corner of State and Van Buren, a few blocks east of Grant Park and west of the Willis Tower, the station services the pink, brown, orange and purple lines of the ā€œLā€ city metro system. This photo was taken in the afternoon, a time that would normally see a high volume of commuters in the city, if not for the COVID-19 outbreak.

North Ave/IL Route 64 is seen just off of the ā€œSix Cornersā€ intersection of Milwaukee, Damen, and North Avenues on Tuesday, March 24 at 1:30 p.m. near the center of the Wicker Park neighborhood in Chicago, IL. This area is known for its bustling streets lined with a multitude of shops and restaurants. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker declared a shelter-in-place directive for the state three days prior, limiting the amount of people out in public in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Wicker Park neighborhood has seen decreased activity as a result, and residents of the city face the effects of COVID-19 and the risks of normalcy.
