Your Daily Three: May 27

1. Review the reopening guide for your industry. As Illinois plans to move into Phase 3 in June, the Governor has released industry-specific guides for reopening. Each set of guidelines includes a common set of guidelines that are expected and encouraged among all employers and activity types, as well as workplace and program-specific guidelines. While Chicago has not announced when it will move to Phase 3, Chicago has also issued industry-specific guidance for reopening once Phase 3 hits. See our summary. Authored by Becky Canary-King
