CHICAGO —  Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker released new guidelines Monday as the state expects to move into Phase 4 of its coronavirus reopening plan on Friday.

All four regions of the state are currently on track to move into Phase 4 as the state continues to make significant progress in reducing new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, with the average 7-day statewide case positivity rate falling to just 2.5 percent as of June 20, according to the governor’s office.

Phase 4 will allow for the reopening of business such as health and fitness, movies and theater, museums and zoos, as well as indoor dining at restaurants.

It will also allow for expanded gathering sizes, increasing the limit from 10 to 50 people or fewer. This expanded gathering limit extends to key activities like meetings, events, and funerals.

“Over the last four months, Illinoisans have pulled together with the common mission of keeping each other safe. By staying home and practicing social distancing, the rate of new COVID-19 cases continues to drop and each region throughout the state is prepared to move to Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois plan,” said Pritzker. “Science and data are the overarching guardrails for how Illinois will keep moving forward. By continuing to wear face coverings and following the guidance from health experts we can continue to safely reopen our economy and move forward together.”
