Region 5 moves into Tier 1; limited indoor dining to be allowed

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) -- The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced on Saturday Region 5, southern Illinois (Alexander, Edwards, Franklin, Gallatin, Hamilton, Hardin, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Marion, Massac, Perry, Pope, Pulaski, Saline, Union, Wabash, Wayne, White, Williamson), has met the metrics to move out of Tier 2 mitigations and into Tier 1 mitigations, which will allow limited indoor dining.

“I am excited to see southern Illinois move into Tier 1 mitigations and I encourage them to continue to practice personal protective actions so they can get back to Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois Plan,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike in a news release. “This should serve as motivation for other regions. However, I do want to caution that moving back through tiers does not mean abandoning your mask or attending large events and gatherings. We must continue to watch our distance and wear our masks and get vaccinated when it we become eligible.”

If violated, they could be fined or have their liquor license suspended. The City of Decatur will meet to talk about changes to the city code and that could effect businesses if it is repealed.

"Had we repealed that city code, in short the city would lack enforcement ability for entities that wanted to violate the COVID-19 safety guidelines and rules that the state has issued," said David Horn with the Decatur City Council.

WEATHER NOW: Snow Showers Through the Weekend

by Meteorologist, Jacob Dickey / Jan 16, 2021

Look for snow showers to continue on-and-off with temperatures dropping into the 20s overnight tonight. Snow remains light with an average of 1-2" of accumulation, but there still will be some slick spots in parts of the area as snow rolls on through. Temperatures will be cold enough to keep snow around longer than previous rounds.

We'll continue to monitor traffic conditions with snow showers continuing on-and-off. As temperatures fall tonight and stay below freezing Sunday, that will help for some slick spots to materialize.
