Northeast looking better and better.

5/19 summary:

Usual caveats: No contact tracing data available yet. But all 4 regions remain on track to move on to Phase 3 provided contact tracing numbers are there.

@GovPritzker did just say all 4 regions are on track to move to Phase 3.

One more: Don't be totally shocked if the Northeast Region positive % is flat or bumps up slightly tomorrow. It is about to lose a good day (15%) from its 7-day rolling average.

That doesn't mean the region isn't making progress.
