Phase 3 in Illinois: What's Allowed and What Can Reopen

A total of 3,928 coronavirus patients remained hospitalized as of Thursday evening with 1,060 of those individuals in intensive care units and 589 on ventilators.

All four state healthcare regions remain within the limits outlined by the governor's phased reopening plan, meaning that they will likely be eligible to move to phase three of the plan by month's end. Chicago's mayor, however, has announced the city won't reach phase three until at least early June.

Illinois remains under a stay-at-home order through May 30, but some regions could begin loosening restrictions as early as May 29.
