Governor JB Pritzker says there are currently no plans to reinstate mask requirements in Illinois. Los Angeles County is once again requiring masks indoors and Las Vegas is recommending visitors there do the same whether they are vaccinated or not. Governor Pritzker says he’s not looking to implement a mandate as of now.
“I do recommend that people who are going inside, who are with a lot of people in a room, that it is appropriate to bring your mask, wear your mask. Some people feel safer that way. It’s maybe an appropriate thing for many people who are immunocompromised. At the moment we are encouraging people to do what is comfortable for them in those environments.”
The governor reminds that the virus has proven very unpredictable so things could change in the future, especially in the areas that are seeing the largest increase in cases.
