Gov. J.B. Pritzker said that is "unlikely" his stay-at-home order can be lifted safely before April 30, and that organizers of large summer events "need to think seriously" about canceling them.
"From my perspective today, I do not see how we're going to have large gatherings of people again until we have a vaccine, which is months and months away," Pritzker said. "I would not risk having large groups of people getting together anywhere, and I think that's hard for everybody to hear, but it's just a fact."
The governor added an increase in testing residents, tracing social spread of COVID-19, and treating those who are ill are "not enough" for him to green-light large-scale festivals, fairs, and other events.

Good video. Is it called the Register's office or the Registrar's office?

A reduction-in-force at Knox College will affect approximately 55 staff members. Knox needs to address unforeseen increases to the budget deficit caused by the cancellation of on-campus classes in the spring term.
Additionally, Knox will need to take other budgetary measures, including the possibility of a reduction in 403(b) contributions and graduated pay reductions for faculty and staff.
