The state may be able to soon enter the “Bridge” phase of covid-19 mitigations. Enough seniors are vaccinated for Illinois to move into the bridge phase, which increases capacity limits in several different settings, but COVID hospitalizations are still a concern. Governor JB Pritzker says it appears that’s changing.
“It looks to me like we are on a decent trajectory. I can’t say exactly what day that is, but it feels to me, it looks to me if you look at all the hospital admissions data that we are in decent shape and moving exactly as I would hope we would toward the “Bridge” phase.”
The latest daily totals include more than two thousand new cases and 28 additional deaths. The governor has extended the moratorium on evictions until May 29th.
