Pritzker: Stricter COVID Mitigations Could Return

Governor J.B. Pritzker warns that stricter measures could return if COVID numbers don’t improve. Cases are on the rise in Illinois and the governor says his office continues to look at all options for again slowing the spread of the disease.

All but one Illinois county, Carroll, is considered at high risk for transmission for the virus. More than half of the state’s 11 designated regions are at warning levels for the number of ICU beds available.
