Pritzker's Restore Illinois reopening plan. The shift in state-mandated coronavirus mitigation measures means bars and restaurants can allow parties of up to 10 people instead of four, and there are no longer any food service requirements. Under Phase 4, the maximum permitted gathering size under Pritzker's executive orders has doubled from 25 to 50, with movie theaters and indoor performances again allowed in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff.
