Masks No Longer Recommended in Any of Illinois' 102 Counties, CDC Says
Under metrics released a week earlier, masks had only been recommended in Johnson CountyFor the first time since the end of Illinois' mask mandate, residents in all 102 counties can safely visit public indoor spaces without wearing masks, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
All Illinois counties were listed in the low category on the CDC's COVID-19 community level map Thursday, meaning masks can safely be removed. Under metrics released a week earlier, masks had only been recommended in Johnson County, which had been ranked as a high community level - the highest level of COVID-19 risk.
Despite improvements in metrics statewide and the end of Illinois' mask mandate on Feb. 28, masks were still recommended in 21 counties listed as having high COVID-19 transmission.
