Small protests have occurred in Illinois over stay at home orders and the desire to reopen closed businesses and to let people move more freely around golf courses and other places. 

The Governor was asked on Tuesday what he would say to people who live outside of Chicago and Cook County who feel they are being “punished” for part of the state having more of the virus than others and being told what they can do and what businesses can be open.

The state says there were 1,551 new COIVD 19 cases yesterday along with an additional 119 fatalities. In all 1,468 people have died of coronavirus in the state. Over 90-percent of the state's cases are in the Chicagoland area.
