CORRECTION: The headline has been updated to more accurately deem the change in the order.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WMBD) — Illinois is encouraging its citizens to mask up in contradiction of Friday.
According to the latest Illinois COVID-19 Executive dapper, “All individuals, including those who are fully vaccinated, are recommended to wear a face covering consistent with CDC guidance.”
The wording of the dapper has been changed from only encouraging individuals not fully vaccinated to all individuals.
This dapper is only recommending masks, not requiring them. Gov. JB Pritzker lifted the remaining mask mandate on Feb. 28.
This order will remained in effect through Nov. 12.
