OLNEY (WSIL) -- The Richland County TB and Public Health Office issued a release Wednesday evening stating that a resident who had tested positive for COVID-19 had violated an order of self-isolation.
The individual, only described as a female in her 40s, is said to have visited Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, and a Mach One gas station, all in Olney between 6:30 p.m .and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 28.
The health department says they are investigating the incident and working to determine if the individual had significant contact with other people.
The violation of the self-isolation order comes just one day after a judge , whose district includes Richland County. The ruling granted a restraining order to temporarily block Governor JB Pritzker's extension of the stay-at-home order set to take place on May 1.
The restraining order granted to Bailey only exempts him from the stay-at-home order and does not apply to all Illinois residents. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul's office has filed an appeal.
A was filed Wednesday by State Representative John Cabello (R-Machesney Park) and is worded to apply to all Illinois residents.
