Another Central Illinois court has rejected attorney Thomas DeVore’s attempt to block Governor JB Pritzker’s COVID vaccination-or-testing mandates for public employees.
The latest ruling comes in a case filed in Christian County on behalf of some Illinois Department of Corrections employees who objected to the requirement to show proof of vaccination against the virus or submit to regular testing.
The judge pointed to recent appellate court decisions that found such rules can be imposed by public employers as a workplace safety measure.
