(Chicago, IL)  — Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a “shelter-in-place” order for the entire state, beginning Saturday at 5p Central and lasting through April 7th.  The Order commands residents to stay in their homes as the officials take drastic measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus, sources told the Chicago Tribune.

Pritzker announced the directive at a 3 p.m. Friday news conference along with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.  Residents can still go to the grocery stores, put gas in their cars, take walks outside and make pharmacy runs. All local roads, including the interstate highways and tollways, will remain open to traffic, as well.

Illinois will be the second state to impose a shelter-in-place directive after California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued on Thursday night. The San Francisco area was placed under one Tuesday.
