Illinois will require all educators from kindergarten through college and health care workers to get COVID-19 vaccines or submit to weekly testing.

Area health departments reported 235 new cases of COVID-19 Monday.

Illinois’ governor says all students and staff members in schools will be required to wear face coverings effective immediately.

At a press conference Thursday, Quincy city, Adams County and health department officials reported on the county’s strategy to reverse the recent spike in COVID-19 cases.
