凌晨4点40分:伊利诺伊州州长提起诉讼，要求学校戴口罩
伊利诺伊州州长J.B .普利兹克，连同州卫生局长和州长，已经提起诉讼，旨在要求在学校使用面部遮盖物。
普利兹克在周四的一份声明中说:“作为一名父亲，我不会把我的孩子送到一所不需要遮盖面部的学校，因为科学很清楚:遮盖面部对于防止冠状病毒的传播至关重要。”
据伊利诺伊州司法部长办公室称，该诉讼于周四提起。
该投诉针对的是三所学校，它们“宣布拒绝”遵循各州政府机构的公共卫生指导和州长的行政命令。
2020年7月9日，在加州蒙特里公园快乐日学校的暑期课程中，根据冠状病毒指南，小学班级的孩子们戴着口罩，间隔地坐在课桌前。
“从疾病预防控制中心到美国儿科学会，医生和流行病学家一致认为，为了让大量人群聚集在一起，尤其是在室内，需要一个面部覆盖物来阻止疾病的传播。”普利兹克说:“当学区最终确定秋季作业计划时，他们必须明白，为了让我们的孩子、老师和社区保持健康和安全，必须遵守这些基于证据的明确要求。”
根据诉讼，三所学校发出了一封信，声称州长的命令是不合法的。该州要求法院核实州长的命令是合法的，并要求“禁令救济，要求学校停止拒绝遵守行政命令和指导，”根据投诉。
伊利诺伊州有超过159，000个COVID-19确诊病例，至少有7，452人死亡。
普利兹克要求戴口罩的诉讼是在佐治亚州州长反其道而行之之后提出的。州长布莱恩·肯普周三发布了一项行政命令，禁止戴口罩，并宣布在市长凯莎·兰斯·博茨颁布了一项全市性的面部遮盖规定后，该州将起诉亚特兰大。

4:40 a.m.: Illinois governor files suit to require masks in schools
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, along with the state health director and the state superintendent, have filed a lawsuit aimed at requiring face coverings in schools.
“As a father, I would not send my children to a school where face coverings are not required because the science is clear: face coverings are critical to prevent the spread of coronavirus,” Pritzker said in a statement Thursday.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday, according to the Illinois attorney general’s office.
The complaint is being brought against three schools that have “announced their refusal” to follow the public health guidance from the various state agencies and the governor's executive orders, according to the complaint.
Children in an elementary school class wear masks and sit at desks spaced apart, per coronavirus guidelines, during summer school sessions at Happy Day School in Monterey Park, Calif., July 9, 2020.
“From the CDC to the American Academy of Pediatrics, doctors and epidemiologists agree that in order to bring large groups of people together, especially indoors, a face covering is needed to stop the spread. As school districts finalize their fall operations plans, it is imperative that they understand these clear evidence-based requirements to wear face coverings need to be followed to keep our children, teachers and communities healthy and safe,” Pritzker said.
According to the lawsuit, three schools issued a letter contending the governor’s order was not lawful. The state asks the court to verify that the governor’s order was lawful, and for “injunctive relief to require the Schools to stop refusing to comply with the executive orders and Guidance,” according to the complaint.
Illinois has more than 159,000 diagnosed cases of COVID-19, with at least 7,452 deaths.
Pritzker's lawsuit seeking to require masks comes after Georgia's governor is doing the opposite. Gov. Brian Kemp issued an executive order Wednesday banning mask mandates and announced the state is suing Atlanta after Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms enacted a citywide face-covering rule.
