Members of the Illinois GOP are laying out a plan to phase in a reopening of the economy. A group of Representatives gathered by Zoom on Wednesday to layout a path forward for Illinois. 

Rep. Matt Batnick from Plainfield says hospitals and medical centers need to resume elective surgeries and other medical procedures. He says firsthand he’s waiting on critical care and worries about people who will push off other procedures.

Batnick says that medical centers and hospitals that are dealing with large numbers of COVID patients should delay those procedures, but many others can safely reopen for business.
