The BGA is covering the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on how municipalities, counties and the Illinois government are handling the crisis.
Newsroom investigations and PolitiFact fact-checks of politicians' statements as well rumors being spread on social media are included. We also mobilized our "What the Gov" series to answer readers' questions.
Coronavirus-related columns by the BGA's president and positions by the BGA's policy teams can also be found here.
