Operative words

Beginning on May 11, 2020, hospitals and ASTCs may begin to perform procedures, provided that specific criteria have been met (ACS tracker quotation).

Enforcement

Guidance (licensure leverage under the Hospital Licensing Act); Illinois's mandatory instrument was the Mar. 20, 2020 stay-at-home order (EO 2020-10) which treated health care as essential

Notes

Illinois's spring 2020 elective restriction was IDPH direction rather than a gubernatorial order; the memoranda describe it as the Department's direction and rely on EO 2020-10 and the customer-base orders for the mandatory layer.
