The 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Illinois began on 24 January 2020 when a woman in Chicago, who had just returned from the epidemic's center in Wuhan, tested positive for the virus.[2] This was the second case of COVID-19 in the United States during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. The woman's husband was diagnosed with the disease a few days later, the first case of human-to-human transmission in the United States. In mid-March, as the number of known cases rose into the double digits, the state took measures to halt its spread.
Timeline
On 5 March 2020, public health officials in Chicago reported a fifth case of coronavirus in a man in his 20s who recently traveled to Italy and returned to Illinois on a flight to Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The new case was hospitalized at Rush University Medical Center.[3] On 6 March, a sixth case was reported in Chicago. The patient, a classroom assistant in the Vaughn Occupational High School, had been on the Grand Princess cruise.[4]
March
9 March
Four additional cases were announced in Cook County, bringing the state's total number of cases to eleven. Governor J. B. Pritzker also announced a disaster proclamation (a state of emergency) for the state of Illinois.[5]
10 March
Governor J. B. Pritzker announced eight new presumptive positive cases, two of which were the first cases outside of Cook County. These cases brought Illinois's total number of cases to 19.[6]
11 March
6 new cases of the coronavirus were reported, bringing the total to 25.[7] Northwestern University announces an extension of spring break for an additional week followed by holding classes remotely until at least April 27.[8] Courses at the University of Illinois will be held entirely online after spring break; residence and dining halls will remain open.[9]

On 12 March, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that after meeting with Comcast executives, the company will "double internet speeds to low income households nationally. Also, 60 free days of internet for low income households" starting Monday, 16 March.[14]
On 13 March, Governor Pritzker announced that all schools in Illinois would close for a period to begin the following Tuesday and last until the end of the month. The governor's announcement came after hundreds of public school districts and private schools had already announced closures.[15]
