There’s word that some restaurants and bars in Illinois are planning to continue to stay fully open despite mitigations that don’t allow indoor dining. Governor JB Pritzker says local leaders and law enforcement must take this issue seriously. COVID-19 hospitalizations have been on the increase statewide. The latest daily death toll is 68 lives lost to the virus.
