Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Thursday will announce his plans to extend the current stay-at-home executive order until the end of May, sources said.
The current order is set to expire April 30. Pritzker will announce the extension on Thursday but will not sign the order until next week, sources said.
The Democratic governor, alongside some state researchers, is expected outline the numbers Thursday behind his decision to keep people home a whole four additional weeks.
Illinois has reached its peak — but that high level in coronavirus deaths could last “a couple of weeks” and see as many as 150 Illinoisans dying of COVID-19 a day, officials said.
The extension was anticipated from Pritzker for days. He has also hinted that there could be some loosening of restrictions for regions that are seeing fewer cases and deaths.

WOW!! ..just wow!!
He’s just another Demo-Nazi.
More businesses will leave to states that are open.
They are saying it’s going to last until May 31...just what the DNC asked for.
Going to be a bit of push-back on that one...
.
Governor Fatzker is looking for the Feds to bow to his demands to bail out the corrupt Democrat pension funds in exchange for a hostage release.
Fatzker is just another toady political hack looking for a foot up the political ladder. But Illinois has been under the thumb of Michael Madigan for 40 years.
Where's Madigan? Is not one member of the propaganda media willing to risk their cocktail party invite to ask that question?
This will be the END of the private-sector economy in IL.
if that fool really does that, it would be the perfect situation to file a constitutional lawsuit that the DoJ could subsequently join ...
Why not until after Inauguration Day in 2021?
Let’s cower in place until our betters in the Rat Party tell us it’s safe!
(I absolutely need the /s)
“This will be the END of the private-sector economy in IL.”
That’s the plan.
Sounds like FraudCo at work.
Now let’s see if the surrounding states reopen first, and start poaching commerce from Illinois residents. Wouldn’t that be a hoot!
Nothing wrong with this guy Pritzker that a good caning & a long jail term (in general population) wouldn’t likely take care of. Not familiar with the “Mister Creosote”term....what’s that about?
Yep DNC orders keep it shut till the end of May then just 2 more weeks then...
Except that Illinois will then start putting up “checkpoints” at the border (”Good day, comrade. Papers please!”) to prevent the “diseased” from crossing into or out of the state, and spreading it...
Illinois will become a prison camp. They won’t be able to stop commerce on the interstates, but nobody will be coming to visit and do business there.
The 6 county metro-Chicago area is where all the cases are.
2/3 of all deaths are in nursing homes in this area. Pritzker needs a more nuanced opening. He is killing the red counties.
Yeah and once that date comes it will be pushed back again. I bet they think if they keep pushing it back and if Biden gets elected he will give the states a bail out. Just a thought.
