(Chicago, IL) — Illinois residents are adjusting to a new stay-at-home order. Governor J.B. Pritzker announced the order Friday as a strategy to stop the spread of coronavirus. It went into effect Saturday and allows residents to leave their house to visit the grocery store, doctor’s office, pharmacy, gas stations, and to take hikes and walks outside. The order expires April 7th. Illinois was the third state to enact such an order.
