On August 26, 2021, Illinois Governor Pritzker signed Executive Order 2021-20 reinstating a mask mandate for the State of Illinois.
The new mask mandate is effective Monday August 30, 2021.
From the order:
“All individuals in Illinois who are age two or over and able to medically tolerate a face covering (a mask or cloth face covering) shall be required to cover their nose and mouth with a face covering when in an indoor public place. Illinoisans should also consider wearing a mask in a crowded outdoor settings and for activities that involve close contact with others who are not fully vaccinated. Face coverings may be removed temporarily while actively eating or drinking (including in bars and restaurants), and may be removed by workers at workplaces where they can consistently maintain six feet of distance (such as when workers are in their office or cubicle space).”
