Governor JB Pritzker has said several times that he will consider a regional approach to the reopening of the state and he’s said it again.

The Democrat who has seen two lawsuits filed to challenge his constitutional ability to issue back to back emergency declarations says as he thinks about the end of the stay at home order he wants to consider hospital capacity in a region and what the recommendations are from the White House.

The state’s stay at home order was extended to the end of May. But with tweaks, some state parks are opening, boating with restrictions will be allowed and more retail operations will be allowed to open with curbside pickup.
