GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PLANS TO REINSTATE MASK REQUIREMENTS IN ILLINOIS.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS ONCE AGAIN REQUIRING MASKS INDOORS AND LAS VEGAS IS RECOMMENDING VISITORS THERE DO THE SAME WHETHER THEY ARE VACCINATED OR NOT. GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS HE'S NOT LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT A MANDATE AS OF NOW.

THE GOVERNOR REMINDS THAT THE VIRUS HAS PROVEN VERY UNPREDICTABLE SO THINGS COULD CHANGE IN THE FUTURE, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS THAT ARE SEEING THE LARGEST INCREASE IN CASES.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS HE DOES RECOMMEND WEARING A MASK INDOORS AT LARGE PUBLIC GATHERINGS, OR AT LEAST HAVE ONE WITH YOU. HE URGES ILLINOISANS TO DO WHAT THEY FEEL IS BEST IN A PARTICULAR SITUATION AND TO GET VACCINATED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.
