outbreak as a pandemic,and has reported more than 3 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and
200,000 deaths attributable to COVID-19 globally as of April 30,2020;and,

WHEREAS'despite efforts to contain COVID-19,the World Health Organization and the

to continue spreading and it has,in fact,continued to spread rapidly,resulting in the need for

some of which are asymptomatic individuals,meaning that individuals can pass the virus to
others without knowing;and,

developed and now requires an evolving response to ensure hospitals,health care professionals
and first responders are able to meet the health care needs of all Illinoisans and in a manner
consistent with CDC guidance that continues to be updated;and,
WHEREAS,Illinois is using a high percentage of hospital beds,ICU beds,and ventilators as a
result of the number of COVED-19 patients that require hospitalization and,if cases were to

that without a"stay at home"order,more than 25,000 ICU beds would be necessary;and,

deaths from COVID-19 would be between 10 to 20 times higher than with a"stay at home"
order in place;and,
