Region 1

This news might just be the best thing I've heard all week. Region 1 has met the state's requirements to head back to Tier 2 mitigation.

Not only are schools a bigger risk for exposure to COVID-19, where you shop and where you work may present greater risk than bars and restaurants.

Bar, restaurants will take even more of a hit with Governor Pritzkers added restrictions.

The COVID-19 positivity rate in Region 1 is rising, and because of that the State may step in and issue more restrictions as soon as Saturday.
