While existing, pre-pandemic enforcement laws, like revoking a license, are stringent and severe, these rules provide flexibility for local communities and a measured process to help keep people safe. That process is as follows First, businesses will be given a warning in the form of written notice and encouraged to voluntarily comply with public health guidance.Second, businesses that do not voluntarily comply will be given an order to have some or all of their patrons leave the premises as needed to comply with public health guidance and reduce risks.Third, if the business continues to refuse to comply, the business can receive a class A misdemeanor and be subject to a fine ranging from $75-$2,500.These rules do not apply to individuals and penalties will not exceed a misdemeanor and a $75-$2,500 fine. The emergency rules also reinforce the authority of IDPH and local health departments to investigate COVID-19 cases and reaffirm that businesses have a responsibility to cooperate with those investigations.​​https //www2.illinois.gov/Pages/news-item.aspx?ReleaseID=21906 ​​ FACE COVERINGSIndividuals are required to wear a face-covering or a mask when in a public place where they can’t maintain a six-foot social distance.
