Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Public Health has announced additional COVID-19 resurgence mitigations will take effect statewide on Friday. The goal is to reduce the spread of the virus and prevent hospitals from becoming overrun.
Pritzker told a Tuesday afternoon news conference this latest round of mitigations aims to limit gatherings and encourages residents to stay home as much as possible and follow proper safety measures when out in public. He feels the mitigations carefully balance the paramount goal of saving lives while preserving the option for in-person learning for children and protecting as much of the economy as possible from the continued impacts of the virus.
