If Numbers Continue to Improve, Illinois is on Track to Move to Phase 5 in July

Share

If COVID-19 numbers continue to improve, Governor JB Pritzker says Illinois is on track to enter phase five in July. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that her goal is to fully reopen the city by July fourth. That’s a real possibility statewide says Governor Pritzker, so long as the variants don’t cause an increase in cases and hospitalizations.

“That U.K. variant in particular, moves very fast and that’s what we have seen and is now the prevalent type of coronavirus that we are seeing in Illinois. Our hospitalizations have flattened, which is a good thing. We just don’t want to flare back up again so we are just watching closely.”

The Governor is hopeful Illinois will soon be in the “Bridge” phase. Then, if numbers hold or decline for a 28 day period, the state can move to phase five, which is a full reopening.
