Gov. J.B. Pritzker said during his daily press conference residents need to continue together with his stay-at-home order.
“No one wants our state to have families go back to work, or the kids go back to school, for families to visit parks, or small businesses to begin to operate again than I do,” he said. “We need to stay the course for our efforts to truly remain effective.”
Gov. Pritzker said there is evidence the state is "bending the curve" of COVID-19 transmissions, a big positive.
