Chicago’s mayor said that residents shouldn’t go on long runs or bike rides amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as she and the city’s police superintendent threatened people with arrests if they violate a state mandate.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker told state residents last week to stay at home, with exceptions for trips for essentials like food or medicine.
