"richard solomon"..

Took a trip to marshall, illinois today.

He joins us now..

With more..

"on how people are reacting".

/////// ////// richar} the extended illinois stay at home order starts may 1st.

But you'll notice some changes with this one.

Some businesses will reopen with restrictions .

And if you're in public you'll have to wear one of these when you can't have 6 feet of social distancing.

The governor has extended the list of essential businesses.

Adding greenhouses, garden centers, and animal grooming centers.

Non-essential retailers can also re-open.

But, they have to do business over the phone and online.

Employees at any business will have to wear face masks if they can't socially distance.

I spoke with dena porter..owner of greenbriar gottage florist.

She says extending the stay at home order is a smart move.

"i think it's wise to just tip toe through it but instead of just going in head first.

Cause i just feel like it's not under control yet.

If people just would pay attention to what their doing and stay away from other people and wear their masks."

[take: richard] richar} even though things are starting to reopen, some say it could still be a struggle.

I'll share with you how coming up at 6 .
