Illinois Statehouse Vigil Remembers Those Lost To COVID-19

Apr 27, 2020 | 6:45 AM

(Springfield, IL) — A memorial at the Capitol is remembering those across Illinois who have died from COVID-19. A vigil was organized yesterday at sunset in front of the Capitol by District 186 school board member Scott McFarland. McFarland said the idea came from a group of Wisconsin nurses that held a similar event this week. He also says he wanted to remind people why the stay-at-home order matters so much.
