The state of Illinois will finally enter the bridge phase on May 14 after weeks and months of waiting.
Gov. JB Pritzker announced Thursday that thanks to stabilizations and reductions in key COVID-19-related metrics such as hospitalizations, cases and deaths, the state will move into the intermediate phase between Phases 4 and 5. If all goes well, the state could move into Phase 5, a reopening of the state with no restrictions, as early as June 11. The light that we can see at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, Pritzker said. For restaurants and bars and retail and weddings and public gatherings, this means higher capacity limits and a very hopeful move toward full reopening.
