Governor JB Pritzker calls it an important milestone in the fight against coronavirus.

He says Illinois has now become the leader among large states in testing per capita over the past seven days. The state has dramatically ramped up its testing in recent weeks, and is routinely performing well over 15,000 tests per day.

Pritzker has said more widespread testing… and then tracing the contacts of those who test positive… are key to defeating the virus and reopening the state.
