Pritzker's office hopeful for full reopening in early summer
by Jakob EmersonTuesday, April 6th 2021SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WICS/WRSP) — Gov. JB Pritzker’s office hopes Illinois is ready to fully reopen early this summer.
The Governor’s Chief of Staff, Ann Caprara, told senators during a budget proposal hearing on Tuesday, April 6, that she hopes Illinois can move into Phase 5 in the beginning of this summer.
Phase 5 would be a complete relaxation of all COVID-19 restrictions, such as indoor capacity limits and gathering sizes. Masks are expected to remain.
There are still major concerns though within the Governor’s Office before a full reopening can happen. The first is a string of COVID-19 variants around the country and state that threaten the possibility of vaccine resistance.
