(IOCI RADIO) – Gov. J.B. celebrated the end of the state’s mask mandate with a stop by Navy Pier in Chicago Monday.

Masks are no longer required in stores, bars, restaurants, daycares and schools. “It’s a great feeling,” Pritzker said.

The governor said those that feel more comfortable wearing a mask should continue to do so. As of Sunday night, there were 943 COVID-19 patients in the hospital, the lowest level since the end of July.
