A judge in Illinois has ordered the head of the Chicago police union to stop encouraging members not to get a COVID-19 vaccine, just hours before the city’s deadline for officers to report their vaccination status to the city took effect.

Cook County Circuit Judge Cecilia Horan issued the ruling on Oct. 15 after a lengthy emergency hearing on a request for injunctive relief that the city filed earlier in the day, local news outlets reported.
