Illinois governor issues 'stay-at-home' order

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday ordered all state residents to remain in their homes except for essentials, joining similar  efforts in California and New York to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Pritzker said the order goes into effect at 5 p.m. CT on Saturday and lasts through April 7.
Residents will still be able to go to grocery stores, pharmacies, medical offices, hospitals and gas stations. They can still go running or hiking and walk their dogs.
"Grocery stories, pharmacies, gas stations, these sources of fundamental supplies will continue to operate," he said. "There is no need to run out and hoard food, gas, or medicine. Buy what you need within reason. There is enough to go around as long as people do not hoard.
"We will never shut these services down."
