The guidelines allow movie theaters, zoos, museums and health and fitness centers to reopen with limited capacity. Restaurants will be able to offer in-door dining and gatherings of 50 people or fewer will be permitted.
Pritzker said because residents followed guidelines—wearing face masks, frequently washing their hands, staying home and practicing social distancing—there's been more than a 60 percent decline in the number of coronavirus deaths per day in Illinois from a peak six weeks ago. There also has been a deeper drop in the percentage of new cases.Thursday, the state reported 894 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the overall total to 139,434.
However, Illinois Public Health Director Ngozi Ezike said for now, Illinois residents deserve praise. "The stakes are high," she said."Let's not gamble with coronavirus. We don't even know the long-term effects of COVID-19, what might happen to our lungs five years from now after being infected."

Hello Illinois!!! Please look at the Coronavirus information that's right in front of your faces! Slow your roll! Wear a mask when you panic.
I dropped the towel when leaving the shower
Yeah fuck that noise I'm staying the hell away. Everybody else can go and get COVID-19 but I would like to NOT DIE.
Could we leave zoos closed, y'know... forever?
Are we there yet as a country? Really?
Good thinking 😉
Seriously? People are still reopening shit! WTF America? So, we have just given up and we’re letting the virus win. I’m fucking embarrassed. 🤦🏻♀️
Hoping for the best, keep those numbers low. Face cover and social distance Illinois.
Looks like they spoke with the coronavirus and they had a deal
