Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced a statewide mask mandate on Aug. 26 and ordered every eligible student, among other “high-risk settings,” to get vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
Pritzker, a Democrat, said the vaccination mandate will apply to pre-K through 12th-grade teachers and staff, higher education personnel, and students, as well as health care workers, nursing home employees, and the offices of doctors, according to a government statement.
