New data suggest fewer people are abiding by Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order, a trend the governor called concerning.
Pritzker was asked about the data on Monday and whether it could lead to a surge in new cases of COVID-19 this summer or fall.
Pritzker said that especially with warmer weather on the way in the coming months, more people would likely be tempted to gather throughout the state.
Also on Monday, the Illinois Department of Public Health reported 2,294 new cases COVID-19 in Illinois, including 59 additional deaths.
Statewide, the department has reported a total of 96,485 cases, including 4,234 deaths.
