CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A wedding earlier this week in Niles has caught the attention of the Cook County Department of Public Health.
The wedding on Wednesday night at the White Eagle Events and Convention Center is under investigation, because of reports about the number of guests, a lack of safety protocols, and the potential it could have been a super-spreader event.
Photos shared with CBS 2 show people were not wearing masks. There was also reported to be a dance floor, which is prohibited under the state's COVID-19 guidelines.
Events, like weddings, are currently capped at 50 people or 50 percent of the room's capacity, whichever is fewer, in Illinois' current phase of reopening.
It is alleged there were many more people than what should have been allowed at the White Eagle, which could be cited and fined. In December, another local wedding with similar circumstances caused the Hilton Chicago/Northbrook to be hit with fines.
