Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzger Tuesday announced a five phase plan for reopening the state as the threat from COVID-19 subsides in the future. It is called “Restore Illinois” and divides the state into four different health care regions-Northeast, Northcentral, Central and Southern. Lawrence County is in the Southern Region. The entire state is currently in Phase Two-Flattening. When infection and hospitalization rates remain stable or decline then Phase 3-Recovery will kick in perhaps at the end of the month. Some regions may move through the criteria of the phases more quickly than others. For the complete “Restore Illinois” plan, visit the Illinois COVID-19 website.
