This is because Illinois officials announced that Region 8 (DuPage and Kane counties) and Region 9 (Lake and McHenry counties) have moved to Tier 1 restrictions, allowing for indoor dining to resume.
All regions in Illinois are now in Tier 1 mitigation measures or Phase 4 of reopening, with the exception of Region 4 near St. Louis.
The total number of cases in Illinois now stands at 1,108,430, with a total of 18,883 deaths, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the past 24 hours, laboratories reported 69,285 specimens for a total of 15,553,319.
As of Monday night, there were 3,001 patients in Illinois who were in the hospital with COVID-19. Of these, 608 were patients in the ICU and 320 patients with COVID-19 on ventilator.

Preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity from Jan. 19-25 is 5.7%.
The positivity rate of the test is a measure that the state began providing in late October. It is calculated by using the total number of positive tests over the total number of tests. This is the measure used by state health officials to make mitigation decisions.

A total of 1,227,625 vaccine doses have been delivered to suppliers in Illinois, including Chicago, with an additional 537,050 doses allocated to federal government partners for long-term care facilities, bringing the total number delivered in Illinois to 1,764,675.

IDPH reports that a total of 719,995 vaccine doses have been administered, including 110,403 in long-term facilities. The seven-day rolling average of vaccines administered is 30,180.
Illinois is now reporting eight more cases of the new, potentially more contagious COVID-19 variant that was first identified in the UK. Only one case has been confirmed here so far. All nine of these cases are within Cook County.
The IDPH says vaccine distribution numbers are reported in real time and vaccine delivery lags by as much as 72 hours.
With Illinois in Stage 1B, people over 65 and many key workers are now eligible for the vaccine. That includes about another 3.2 million people.
The Illinois National Guard will assist with vaccinations at Cook County Health Centers in half a dozen suburbs. More deployments are planned statewide.
Officials said that starting Monday those guard-backed sites will be adopting 1B appointments, as will pharmacies at hundreds of Walgreens, CVS and Jewel locations.
Walgreens is delivering vaccines at 92 locations across the state and arrangements can be made on their website, while Jewel-Osco begins vaccinating eligible residents on Tuesday, with arrangements available on their website.
Governor JB Pritzker said there are plans to launch walk-in sites as soon as vaccine supply increases.
Monday, Governor Pritzker and Chairman of the Cook County Board, Toni Preckwinkle, visited the Tinley Park Convention Center, which is preparing to become a mass vaccination site.
Governor Pritzker announced the creation of a new portal, coronavirus.illinois.gov, to provide the latest information on vaccines.
“Today, we are launching the latest phase of our vaccine administration plan for frontline workers and people over 65. I am proud to announce our nationwide vaccination location, searchable by zip code and city, at coronavirus.illinois.gov,” said Governor JB Pritzker. This site will serve as a hub for all vaccine-related information, directing residents to the appointment booking home pages of our 97 local health departments and our pharmacy partners, which will be in hundreds of locations statewide. That also includes information on our first Illinois National Guard mass vaccination site, opening tomorrow at the Tinley Park Convention Center, and will be updated as more state-run sites and hundreds of additional local options come online. Since federal supply is currently limited and every state in the country is in deficit, I would urge all eligible Illinois residents to regularly check back on available appointments – while masking, keeping their distance, washing hands and remember that we will stay healthy and safe if we look after each other. “
