Pritzker added that the community needed to consider the new website as a hub for all resources. The administration has taken several steps to allocate the resources to the public hit by the COVID-19.

All information related to the resource allocation will be available on the new website. You can visit the webpage at https://www2.illinois.gov/sites/coronavirus/Pages/default.aspx. The website contains different sections including news, prevention, preparation, resources, FAQs, and About Coronavirus.

Pritzker has banned the gatherings of 50 or more people in the state. The health officials in Illinois urged the residents to stay at their home in this challenging time.
