The update comes days after Illinois officials announced that the state is on track to enter Phase 5 of its reopening plan - which would mark a full reopening - in July.
Illinois is currently in Phase 4 of its reopening plan and must first enter what s known as the Bridge Phase, a transitional period before the final Phase 5, which would see all sectors of the economy fully reopened and no capacity limits.
Pritzker said Monday that the state could move to the Bridge Phase potentially as early as next week.
“If you look at all the hospital admissions data, it looks like we’re in decent shape and moving toward the Bridge Phase,” he said. “I believe that it may be next week.”
