From Decatur, Illinois station WAND:

"The executive order allows the city to be flexible to properly respond to the emergency needs of our community. None of the options will necessarily will be implemented but are available in order to protect the welfare and safety of our community if needed," Jeff Hamilton the City of Champaign's Communications Manger told WAND-TV.
And of course:
There are no confirmed COVID-19 cases in central Illinois as of Thursday evening.
Just your usual Democrat/Socalist power grab. Move along folks, nothing to see here.
