Illinois further eases coronavirus restrictions as cases dip
May 6, 2021 GMT
CHICAGO (AP) Illinois will further ease coronavirus pandemic restrictions next week including increasing capacity limits at museums, events and gyms, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Thursday.
As COVID-19 cases continue to fall, Pritzker said Illinois will open the final stage of restrictions on May 14 with the “bridge” phase. If things continue to improve, the state could see a full reopening as soon as June 11, state officials said.
Under the change capacity at museums, theaters, gyms, offices and stores will be increased to 60% from 50% currently.
“The light that we can see at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter as more people get vaccinated,” Pritzker told reporters at a news conference.
