CHICAGO (CBS) — While Illinois now has surpassed 35,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, and more than 1,500 deaths, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Monday that social distancing efforts have “saved thousands of lives.”
The governor also said he’s considering possibly taking a regional approach to reopening the state’s economy, once Illinois is in a position to start modifying the statewide “stay at home” order.
