Illinois Department of Corrections officials have acknowledged the high number, which is partly blamed on more testing in jails. The Illinois Department of Public Health said the state on Tuesday had 6,239 newly confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases, including 116 deaths. Overall, Illinois has reported 911,308 cases, including 15,414 deaths. British citizens with EU residency will also be allowed. Castex said no decision has been made yet on cargo traffic but expected a solution “in the coming hours.”Copyright 2020 The Associated Press.
