With the number of coronavirus cases rising across the state, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzger has recommended the non-mandatory use of masks by people when they are out in public. The governor noted this past weekend that since the virus is spread by droplets when a person coughs or sneezes, it makes sense to cover your nose and mouth when heading out. Federal health officials are also recommending the non-mandatory use of masks, but they continue to emphasize the need for social distancing and staying at home if possible. Walmart announced this past weekend that it will limit the number of people inside a store at one time to encourage social distancing. The company will not allow any more than five customers for each 1000 square feet at a given time. They also will implement one way movement through aisles in a number of store locations.
