Restore Illinois

On Tuesday, May 5th, Governor Pritzker released Restore Illinois, a five-phased plan that will reopen our state, guided by health metrics and with distinct business, education, and recreation activities characterizing each phase. The plan is based upon regional healthcare availability, and it recognizes the distinct impact COVID-19 has had on different regions of our state as well as regional variations in hospital capacity. For more information on Restore Illinois for Champaign County. See the section labeled "Central Region (EMS Regions 3 & 6)"

COVID-19 UPDATES

Champaign County Safe

A coalition of local organizations and municipalities have launched a new online resource to help Champaign County businesses as they progress through the next stages of the state's Restore Illinois plan. The new website - champaigncountysafe.org – was developed to maintain the safety and well-being of our communities and to share information and resources with businesses in Champaign County. The site will serve as a hub for Champaign County businesses to access resources, including re-opening guidelines, sample signage, PPE suppliers, local cleaning companies, local printers and more. More information.

Effective May 1, 2020, Governor JB Pritzker extended the Stay at Home Order (Executive Order 2020-10; COVID-19 Executive Order No. 8) through the duration of the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamations, with modifications of the original Stay at Home Order.
