The new restrictions range from a nightly business curfew in Newark, New Jersey, to a two-week stay-at-home order in El Paso, Texas, to a halt in indoor dining in Chicago. J.B. Pritzker announced Tuesday that he was stopping indoor dining and bar service in Chicago, effective at 12:01 am Friday. The US has reported a record daily average of about 71,000 new cases over the past week, an increase of about 40% from the average two weeks earlier. On Tuesday, Oklahoma and Wyoming broke single-day death records and Kentucky reported a new daily cases record. Pritzker’s announcement follows a similar indoor dining ban that includes southern Cook County, just outside Chicago, which was announced Monday.
