Madison County approves guidelines to reopen, recommending businesses defy governor’s order
"It's feels great to socialize. It's been two months since I have been able to see my friends," said Linda Lack, left, who exercises next to her friend Bonnie Holtorf on Wednesday, May 13, 2020, at the Nautilus Fitness Center in Alton. Lack went on say how exercise and socialization helps with overall health, decreasing stress and improving quality of sleep. The Madison County Board of Health on Tuesday recommended businesses in the county reopen despite Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order restricting nonessential businesses.
