North Aurora IDES Workers ‘Dropping Like Flies’ Amid COVID Outbreak
CBS 2's Tara Molina talked exclusively to several people at the IDES North Aurora office.
AURORA, IL (CBS) — Because of a COVID-19 outbreak at a local Illinois unemployment office, one Illinois Department of Employment Security employee said workers are dropping like flies.

They said the state isn’t protecting them. And now, thousands of people who need unemployment help are paying the price.
