(Undated) – If you were hoping to be “mask-free” for the holidays, think again. According to Illinois Governor, J.B. Pritzker, the state’s mask mandate isn’t going anywhere for now. Pritzker says he watches health metrics come in every day and for now they aren’t heading in the right direction. He says hospitalizations are slowing but they aren’t going down.
The latest number from the Crawford County Health Department shows the current “active” COVID-19 count has climbed back up to thirty-three. They also report one person currently hospitalized as a result of the virus.
