Governor Pritzker says despite high COVID-19 numbers across the state he is currently not considering going back to Phase 3 and implementing another stay-at-home order. The governor added that most regions have tier one mitigations, although the Rockford area is at tier two with even stricter requirements. All eleven regions in Illinois will be under increased safety precautions on Wednesday. Chicago health leaders are urging residents to get flu shots this season.
