In Monday's daily COVID-19 briefing, Gov. JB Pritzker said not a single region in Illinois saw a decrease in COVID numbers over the last week. He also touched upon businesses hardest hit by the pandemic and security preparations ahead of the election.
Gov. Pritzker outlined the actions of the state so far to mitigate the financial impact on communities and small businesses to help them get through this pandemic and said more help is on the way.
"There is a combined $315 million remaining between the BIG (Business Interruption Grant) program and the local CURE program available right now for local governments and small businesses," Gov. Pritzker said. "There's $175 million available now for small businesses affected by the pandemic. Applications are open for small businesses in every industry. We also have specific funding set aside for businesses in disproportionately affected areas."
The governor said the priority is to help those businesses left vulnerable by COVID-19 - including restaurants, taverns, movie theaters and performing arts events - with special attention to minority-owned businesses.
Beyond COVID-19, the governor also addressed Tuesday's election. He reminded people to vote if they haven't already, and for those who still have mail-in ballots, to turn those into secure drop boxes or to bring those with you to vote in person at the polls. He also touched upon why the National Guard has been seen back in the city.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we've made sure that our National Guard is simply in a state of readiness," Gov. Pritzker said. "We did this back during the few days before the ruling around Breonna Taylor. We want to make sure that the cities and counties that call upon us for help from the state of Illinois, that we have those resources available to them."
Gov. Pritzker also reminded voters of the importance of wearing face masks and practicing social distancing while at the polls.
