Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday said a search to replace Dr. Ngozi Ezike as the head of the state’s Department of Public Health has not been completed — even as another resurgence of COVID-19 is causing concern among health officials in other parts of the country.
Dr. Amaal Tokars, the assistant director of Illinois’ health department, has been filling the top post on an interim basis since Ezike stepped down on March 14.
