On May 5, 2020, Governor JB Pritzker announced the Restore Illinois plan, which lays out a
public health approach to safely reopen our state. This document focuses on considerations
during Phase 4 of the plan. As the plan notes, the four public health regions of the state may
reach Phase 4 on different dates and possibly must return independently to an earlier phase if
necessitated by public health indicators. See Appendix A for a map of the four public health
regions in Illinois.(June 23, 2020)
