Elk Grove Village mayor — defying state mandate — says masks now optional in businesses, public property around town; cites low COVID numbers at local hospital

Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig Johnson, however, believes the number of COVID-19 cases across the state is low enough to warrant removing the mandate.
