***************************************************************************
WHAT THIS PHASE LOOKS LIKE The rate of infection among those surveillance tested is stable or declining. COVID-19-related hospitalizations and ICU capacity remains stable or is decreasing. Face coverings in public continue to be required. Gatherings of 10 people or fewer for any reason can resume. Select industries can begin returning to workplaces with social distancing and sanitization practices in place. Retail establishments reopen with limited capacity, and select categories of personal care establishments can also begin to reopen with social distancing guidelines and personal protective equipment. Robust testing is available along with contact tracing to limit spread and closely monitor the trend of new cases. WHAT’S OPEN Gatherings: All gatherings of 10 people or fewer are allowed with this limit subject to change based on latest data & guidance Travel: Travel should follow IDPH and CDC approved guidance Health Care: All health care providers are open with DPH approved safety guidance Education and child care: Remote learning in P-12 schools and higher education; Limited child care and summer programs open with IDPH approved safety guidance Outdoor recreation: State parks open; Activities permitted in groups of 10 or fewer with social distancing
Businesses:
• Manufacturing: Non-essential manufacturing that can safely operate with social distancing can reopen with IDPH approved safety guidance
• “Non-essential” businesses: Employees of “non-essential” businesses are allowed to return to work with IDPH approved safety guidance depending upon risk level, tele-work strongly encouraged wherever possible; Employers are encouraged to provide accommodations for COVID-19-vulnerable employees
• Bars and restaurants: Open for delivery, pickup, and drive through only
• Personal care services and health clubs: Barbershops and salons open with IDPH approved safety guidance; Health and fitness clubs can provide outdoor classes and one-on-one personal training with IDPH approved safety guidance
• Retail: Open with capacity limits and IDPH approved safety guidance, including face coverings HOW WE MOVE TO THE NEXT PHASE Cases and Capacity:
The determination of moving from Phase 3 to Phase 4 will be driven by the COVID-19 positivity rate in each region and measures of maintaining regional hospital surge capacity. This data will be tracked from the time a region enters Phase 3, onwards.
• At or under a 20 percent positivity rate and increasing no more than 10 percentage points over a 14-day period, AND
• No overall increase (i.e. stability or decrease) in hospital admissions for COVID-19-like illness for 28 days, AND
• Available surge capacity of at least 14 percent of ICU beds, medical and surgical beds, and ventilators Testing: Testing available in region regardless of symptoms or risk factors Tracing: Begin contact tracing and monitoring within 24 hours of diagnosis for more than 90% of cases in region
WHAT COULD CAUSE US TO MOVE BACK IDPH will closely monitor data and receive on-the-ground feedback from local health departments and regional healthcare councils and will recommend moving back to the previous phase based on the following factors: • Sustained rise in positivity rate • Sustained increase in hospital admissions for COVID-19 like illness • Reduction in hospital capacity threatening surge capabilities • Significant outbreak in the region that threatens the health of the region
