Suburban Cook County and Chicago restaurants are likely to resume limited indoor service Saturday as key COVID-19 infection and hospitalization metrics in those areas continue to decline.
Illinois Department of Public Health records show the availability of intensive care unit beds in hospitals in both regions has stayed above 20% for longer than the required three days, and the average number of hospitalized patients has steadily declined for more than a week.
