The Illinois Department of Public Health warned four counties about increasing COVID-19 cases and positivity rates on Friday.

Monday - Governor JB Pritzker visited one of them, Adams county. He says he can’t see Illinois getting out of phase four anytime soon.

Pritzker says mitigation efforts to contain the virus work: keep social distance, wear a mask and wash your hands.

A move to phase five in Illinois has been predicated on a vaccine or wide-spread treatment becoming available.
