CHICAGO (AP) – Illinois public health officials say three more people have died after contracting the coronavirus and 422 people statewide have tested positive for the disease caused by the virus. A total of four people have died in the state as a result of COVID-19. Earlier Thursday, Chicago officials ordered all people with confirmed cases of COVID-19 or showing symptoms of the disease caused by it to stay indoors. The order formalized previous advice seeking to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The Chicago Department of Public Health said patients cannot leave their homes, go to work or visit any group setting except to seek medical care and “life sustaining needs.”
