Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he is prepared to order travel and quarantine restrictions in Illinois to limit the spread of coronavirus if scientific guidance recommends it.
“We really have tried to think ahead: what if, and how would we implement that? The restrictions put in place in France, Spain, Italy, those are things we’re looking at. Maybe we need to do those things sooner, or right now,” Pritzker said during a news conference in downtown Belleville Wednesday. “I am also trying to be cognizant that the science, the guidance that we’re getting, isn’t quite there yet, and I want to follow that.”
Those nations, where COVID-19 spread rapidly, have placed severe restrictions on travel and quarantined residents to their homes.
