Operative words
Section 1: Metrics for regional movement between mitigation Tiers and Phases. The following metrics dictate which set of mitigation measures apply to the counties (or the City of Chicago) within an EMS region. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) will track and report on an updated basis which set of mitigation measures apply to which EMS regions on the IDPH website. In May 2020, I announced a five-phase Restore Illinois plan for safely reopening the State. The State has progressed to Phase 4 of that plan, and will remain in Phase 4 until a vaccine or highly effective treatment is widely available (Phase 5). The Phase 4 mitigation measures thus set the baseline for the State's COVID-19 public health restrictions. Within Phase 4, I worked with experts in the Department of Public Health to put forward a deliberate plan that utilizes additional 'tiers' of mitigation measures to combat a resurgence of COVID-19 and prevent uncontrollable spread.... Tier 1 imposes more restrictions than the baseline Phase 4 mitigation measures, and if the Tier 1 measures do not lead to improvement in a region's COVID-19 metrics, escalating restrictions are imposed in Tier 2 and Tier 3.
Enforcement
Through the Phase 4 and Tier orders it governs; IDPH determinations published on its website
