State officials say they are not trying to punish bars and restaurants with stricter COVID-19 rules. Illinois Public Health Director Doctor Ngozi Ezike says contact tracing has shown that exposure is greatest in schools, at work, and bars and restaurants. Four of the state’s counties are now under new mitigations including no indoor dining or bar service. Those affected include DuPage, Will, Kane, and Kankakee counties. The hope is that test positivity rates and hospitalizations decline.
