MASKS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN ILLINOIS. 

IN LIGHT OF MONDAY’S FEDERAL COURT RULING, THE GOVERNOR IS AMENDING A CURRENT EXECUTIVE ORDER SO THAT YOU WON’T HAVE TO WEAR A MASK RIDING PUBLIC TRANSIT, IN A TRANSIT STATION OR AT THE AIRPORT. HE NOTED EARLIER IN THE DAY THAT LOCAL OFFICIALS COULD SET THEIR OWN RULES.

EARLIER IN THE DAY HE SAID PEOPLE SHOULD STILL DO WHAT THEY FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE WITH GIVEN CURRENT COVID-19 CONDITIONS.

THE GOVERNOR SAYS NO NEW STATEWIDE MITIGATIONS ARE CURRENTLY PLANNED BUT URGES RESIDENTS TO GET ALL THEIR COVID VACCINATION SHOTS AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS AS THEY SEE FIT.
