Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- After declaring a public health emergency in Illinois on a monthly basis for nearly three years, Governor J.B. Pritzker has announced the end is near.
Pritzker announced the string of disaster proclamations will end on May 11, aligning the state with the federal government’s plans.
That is Wirepoints president Ted Dabrowski, whose organization has been highly critical of Pritzker’s use of executive powers since the pandemic hit.
The Biden administration had previously considered ending the emergency last year, but held off over concerns about a potential winter surge in COVID cases, which hasn’t materialized in Illinois and elsewhere.
