Chicago Faces Resource Challenges As COVID-19 Cases Rise

Illinois saw its largest uptick in deaths from COVID-19 Wednesday as cases in Chicago continue to rise. On Tuesday, Governor J.B. Pritzker extended the state-wide stay-at-home order to the end of April.

Now, officials say they're bracing for a peak in cases within the next two weeks. But the city faces several challenges including little assistance from the federal government and a lack of basic resources like running water in some homes.
