After close to three months of lockdown, our state caseloads have trended downward for the required two weeks allowing us to move forward to Phase 3 of reopening Illinois. What that means is that restaurants can offer outdoor dining, state parks can reopen, nail salons and barbershops can provide services under new guidelines, and we can now gather in groups of up to 10 people. We are all cautiously optimistic that we can breeze through this phase to lift even more restrictions in the coming weeks. We are also looking forward to Mason’s baseball team getting back on the diamond in the next few days. Though practices and games won’t be quite the same, it will be nice to get back into a routine of sorts.

So what do the numbers say? In the past three weeks, our state has confirmed an additional 44,175 cases bringing our state total to 120,260. Currently, our state is conducting nearly 25,000 tests each day. Our death total has increased by 2,041 to 5,390.
