A summer more like 2019 than 2020 s empty stadiums and canceled festivals could be on the horizon, with Gov. J.B. Pritzker expected to ease COVID-19 limitations on activities in the coming days.

Assuming that our numbers continue to be stable or decline and that we continue to see really good uptake in vaccine, I fully expect that this summer will look more like two summers ago, Chicago Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady said Tuesday at a briefing.
But I want to be clear, Europe is seeing surges in COVID-19 again despite the fact they are also rolling out vaccines. There s not a for granted we won t have any more trouble here, she said.
School districts across DuPage County are in the process of formalizing plans to offer in-person learning on a regular schedule as state officials ease mitigation restrictions.

Naperville Unit District 203 taxpayers can soon expect to receive their property tax relief checks in the mail, officials said.
Faced with an unexpected surplus after schools shut down last spring, the school board in January approved a total $10 million tax reimbursement to help ease the financial burden of the COVID-19 crisis.
Those checks are being processed in batches and sent out based on ZIP code. Checks are being prepared for mailing for residents and property owners within 60565, while all other ZIP codes within the district were sent out Tuesday or last week.
