GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS ILLINOIS COULD BE MOVING TO THE NEW "BRIDGE" PHASE IN LESS THAN A WEEK.
ALTHOUGH MORE THAN 70 PERCENT OF SENIORS ARE NOW VACCINATED, THE STATE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF PHASE FOUR DUE TO RISING COVID-19 CASES AND HOSPITALIZATIONS. THAT MAY BE CHANGING SAYS THE GOVERNOR.
THE RISING NUMBER OF CASES AND HOSPITALIZATIONS HAS KEPT MITIGATIONS STAGNANT SO FAR SAYS THE GOVERNOR.
THE LATEST DAILY TOTALS ARE MORE THAN 21-HUNDRED NEW CASES AND OVER TWO THOUSAND COVID PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL. THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH HAS CONFIRMED IN EXCESS OF 25-HUNDRED CASES OF COVID VARIANTS IN ILLINOIS.
