Models originally suggested the state would hit its peak in cases and hospitalizations in mid-May, but new models suggest that the peak could be stretched out into early-to-mid June
During his daily coronavirus press briefing, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said that modelling data now indicates that the state may not hit the so-called "peak" in the coronavirus pandemic until as late as mid-June.
Originally, state officials had hoped to hit a peak in April, but that timeline has now been broadened due to new modeling data.
“Compared to the forecasts I shared on April 23, the timeframe of plateauing near a peak has been expanded from mid-May into mid-June,” Pritzker said.
