Another change to Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s COVID-19 reopening plan is expected this week, but it won’t be the full reopening initially laid out in May 2020.

A year ago, Gov. J.B. Pritzker started ordering limits on gathering sizes to smaller and smaller numbers he said was an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Twelve months later, many restrictions remain in place to reduce the spread of the virus. The state is in Phase 4 of the governor’s plan, with a 50-person on the size of gatherings. Phase 5 would be full reopening.
