STAY-AT-HOME CONTINUES. The Stay-at-Home order continues through May 29. You should continue to stay home as much as possible and not socially gather; wear face coverings when outside the home; and maintain at least six feet of distance from members of other households.
RESTORE ILLINOIS. On May 5th, Governor Pritzker released Restore Illinois, a five-phase regionalized public health plan to reopen the state. Our region is currently in Phase 2, and restrictions may relax based on public health criteria including the rate of positive COVID-19 tests, hospital admissions for COVID-19, and the availability of surge capacity for hospitals.
