GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS ILLINOIS WILL MOVE INTO THE “BRIDGE” PHASE NEXT FRIDAY AND MAY FULLY REOPEN AS SOON AS JUNE 11TH.

THANKS TO DECLINING CASES AND STEADYING HOSPITALIZATION NUMBERS, THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE STATE CAN ENTER THE BRIDGE PHASE ON MAY 14TH.

THE BRIDGE PHASE MEANS LARGER CAPACITY LIMITS FOR PLACES LIKE GYMS, OFFICES, MUSEUMS, FLEA MARKETS AND MUSEUMS.

IF COVID CONDITIONS CONTINUE IMPROVING THAT FULL REOPENING COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS JUNE 11TH. MASKS WILL STILL BE REQUIRED DURING THE BRIDGE PHASE AND IT’S YET TO BE DETERMINED IF THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO PHASE FIVE.
