Region 8 Moves To Restore Illinois Phase 4 Sans Mitigations

As a result of declining Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic case metrics, Region 8 (including DuPage County) has moved out of Tiered Mitigations and fully into Restore Illinois Phase 4, effective immediately.

Phase 4 restrictions without mitigations for restaurants and bars to accommodate seated parties of up to 10 patrons and a maximum occupancy of 25 percent for standing areas capacity, and allow for socially-distanced bar seating between patrons of unrelated parties.

Region 8 has moved from Tier 3 to Tier 2 to Tier 1 Mitigations within Phase 4 in the past month as the number of positive tests, hospitalizations and deaths have dropped, and the number of available hospital beds have risen.
