(Undated) – The move to “Phase 5” of the “Restore Illinois” plan means summer celebrations can be held without restrictions. However, the Illinois Department of Public Health Director, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, says this does not mean the pandemic is over.
Despite the move to “Phase 5,” masks will still be required on public transportation and in most health care settings. Ezike also says if you feel more secure wearing a mask, feel free to keep it on no matter where you are.
