Vaccine mandates will remain in place for K-12 schools, daycares, and congregate care facilities.
– Gov. JB Pritzker announced Wednesday the relaxation of some COVID-19 vaccine and testing requirements for workers in various industries.
The prior executive order required weekly testing of unvaccinated health care staff. Under the updated requirements, long-term care facilities will have to test staff who are not up to date with their vaccinations weekly if they are in an area with a moderate community level of coronavirus transmission. If they are in an area with high transmission, they must test twice per week.
