PEORIA — Illinois remains on pace for a full reopening from any COVID-19 restrictions beginning June 11, Gov. JB Pritzker said Wednesday.
He cheered the prospect of moving out of the state's "bridge phase" and into Phase 5 and noted in particular the rapid vaccination of children aged 12 and over as a positive trend.
The elimination of restrictions — right now, capacity limits still are in place on restaurants, offices, businesses, recreation facilities and entertainment and event venues, among other locations — is dependent, he noted, on continuing stability or reduction in hospital admissions and stability or improvement in the availability of intensive-care unit beds.
