Region 6 Returns to Phase 4: Restore Illinois Phase 4

Restore Illinois: Phase 3 Guidelines Released

On Sunday, May 24, Governor JB Pritzker released new industry-specific guidelines to allow for a safe re-opening of businesses as the state progresses into the next phase of the Restore Illinois plan. All four regions of the state are expected to advance to Phase 3 of the plan in the coming days.

The following industries are included in the Phase 3 guidelines released today: manufacturing, health & fitness centers, offices, personal care services, retail, outdoor recreation, service counters, day camps, youth sports, and restaurants & bars.

While Phase 3 safety guidelines offer new precautions for businesses and residents to take, the state encourages all residents to maintain compliance with ongoing public health guidance – using face coverings, washing hands regularly, and practicing social distancing.

Learn more about Phase 3 and the full list of industry-specific guidelines here. View child care guidelines here.

In an effort to help businesses prepare to re-open and comply with these new guidelines, DCEO has developed a downloadable Phase 3 Business Toolkit. The toolkit includes signage, training checklists and other resources to help business owners and workers implement safety procedures and precautions aligned with public health standards.
