COVID-19

Anyone planning to volunteer or chaperone for an Illinois school will need to provide proof of vaccines or a negative COVID test.

Unlike many things you'll read today, I'm not going to even attempt to tell you what to think about this particular story. I know that adherents to the call for everyone to get the vaccine will take this one way, and the vaccine-hesitant will look at it entirely differently.

If you're someone who's been experiencing "vaccine hesitancy," it may seem like you're the lone hold-out among people you know, or the public in general. However, that's just not the case at all.

There's nothing better than hitting a corn maze with your friends during the fall season.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now estimating that over 1 million people who have received either a Moderna or Pfizer vaccination have decided to go back for more.

With seemingly everything getting the plug pulled on it last year, it's nice to see that the Illinois State Fair is back for 2021, although there will be some changes to the routine fair experience.

If you planned on heading out to the Illinois State Fair coming up, be sure to pack a mask.

Like the pandemic-related 2020 changes, Henry Vilas Zoo is taking two steps backward with safety in mind.

To require face masks or not, is the big question that many Rockford-area school districts still don't have the answer to.

When the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) says that it is fully adopting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new masking guidelines, it's a pretty safe bet that others will follow suit.
