Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/11\/illinois-mask-mandate-likely-remain-place-thanksgiving\/\">reinstituted<\/a> the mandate in late August, which requires all Illinois residents older than two to wear a mask in indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status. However, that has not seemed to stop the virus from spreading.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>According to the <em>New York Times\u2019<\/em> coronavirus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2021\/us\/covid-cases.html\">tracker<\/a>, Illinois is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.illinois.gov\/news\/press-release.23808.html\">reporting<\/a> a daily average of 4,661 cases, or 37 per 100,000.

Michelle Lujan Grisham\u2019s (D) administration in New Mexico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/2021\/10\/15\/state-to-extend-indoor-mask-requirement-2\/\">extended<\/a> the statewide mask mandate.
