All bars and restaurants in Illinois must close to dine-in customers from the end of business Monday night through March 30, Governor JB Pritzker ordered Sunday, due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

“There are no easy decisions left to make as we address this unprecedented crisis,” Pritzker said Sunday. “As your governor I can’t allow the gravity of these decisions from taking the measures that the science and the experts say will keep people safe.”

Pritzker made the announcement during the latest briefing on the spread of COVID-19 in Illinois Sunday afternoon.

Drive-through and pickup services will still be allowed during that time, Pritzker said, and state officials are working with restaurant owners and food delivery services to make sure restaurants can safely keep their kitchens open.
