J.B. Pritzker admonished those who chose to go out in groups when temperatures rose in Illinois.
A woman jogs along lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois, on March 21, 2020. - Almost one billion people were confined to their homes worldwide Saturday as the global coronavirus death toll topped 12,000 and US states rolled out stay-at-home measures already imposed across swathes of Europe.
"For the sake of everyone's health follow the social distancing guidelines that we talk about here every single day. Stay six feet apart and don't gather in groups of ten or more," the governor said during a coronavirus update to the state.
Pritzker was referring to those"throwing caution to the wind" when they took the rising temperatures across Illinois as an opportunity to go outside at a time that officials are"quite literally in the middle of a battle to save" their lives. He thanked those who were following social distancing guidelines and begged state residents to remain inside or to go somewhere that is not crowded if they were to go out.
