Audit: Pritzker administration didn’t respond to seriousness of vets home COVID outbreak – Center Square

After the audit’s release, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, without naming names, blamed Republicans for what he said was their questioning of COVID-19 mitigation measures. “You know all the people, the people who represented the area, the Republicans in general, you heard many of them, and some of them are still saying it even now, that ‘you didn’t need to wear a mask, don’t worry about it. Some of them aren’t even vaccinated or have chosen to tell other people they don’t need to get vaccinated. We were fighting all of that and the pandemic.”
