Pritzker Aims for Full Illinois Reopening on June 11

Gov. JB Pritzker said Thursday that Illinois will move into the Bridge Phase of the Restore Illinois reopening plan beginning Friday, May 14. The Bridge Phase will allow for expanded capacity limits for businesses and gatherings before the state moves to a full reopening in Phase 5, which could occur as soon as June 11 barring any unforeseen reversals. 


The governor and Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike also announced an expansion of the COVID-19 vaccine administration plan to include private doctors’ offices and small medical providers. Thus far, 60% of adult Illinois residents have received their first dose, including 85% of residents ages 65 and older.

“I’m pleased to announce that the concerning upward movement of cases and hospitalizations we were seeing a few weeks ago have stabilized—a testament to the lifesaving, community-protecting power of vaccinations,” said Pritzker.
