The state of Illinois remains in Phase 5 of the Reopen Illinois plan. That means little to no mitigations in things like capacity limits on indoor events.

But that doesn’t mean the state can’t or won’t bring back mitigations if needed. Governor JB Pritzker says he’s watching areas in the state that are seeing a rise in cases.

Illinois reports 721 people in hospital with COVID. A number that has been creeping higher since mid-June but well below the Spring peak of 2288 in April.
