Beginning Friday, May 14, the State of Illinois entered a new pathway from Phase 4 COVID-19 Mitigations to a full reopening in Phase 5. The “Bridge to Phase 5” will allow for higher capacity limits and increased business operations.
As the public continues to get vaccinated, governor JB Pritzker announced the State could reach Phase 5 as early as Friday, June 11, if certain health metric levels are achieved. Phase 5 is without operating capacity limits.
In the “Bridge Phase”:
• Indoor dining increases to 60% capacity;
• Retail & personal care business increase to 60% capacity;
• Capacity for indoor social events increases to 250;
• Capacity for outdoor social events increases to 500.
