Coronavirus cases continue to rise across Illinois and a state lawmaker says people need to take "personal responsibility for their actions."
State Senator Jason Barickman says it's important to monitor the COVID-19 numbers, particularly the impact it can have on the healthcare system.
The Bloomington Republican is encouraging people to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
As for the legislature's role in coronavirus decisions, Barickman says they've been "completely sidelined," and he wishes the governor was more willing to work together.
