<\/figure>On March 9, 2020, the entire state of Illinois was declared a disaster area. In an effort to mitigate the spread of the virus and corresponding disease, the state of Illinois has instituted several safeguards. Social distancing is being practiced, and I would imagine all government employees with the ability to work remotely are doing so. These licenses must be reviewed by a panel, and on can safely assume the extension for issuances of licenses has been pushed back due to communication limitations and the necessity of more pressing issues. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the Governor authorized a variance<\/a> to Illinois Administrative Code allowing Medical Cannabis Dispensaries to dispense medical cannabis outside of the limited access area. This permits dispensary agents to offer curbside and limited-contact service. In order to partake in this exception, the dispensary must have a written procedure on how to operate safely and ensure that they are only dispensing to approved patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here at KL Security: we\u2019ve assisted several of these applicants on addressing security needs, and we\u2019re waiting on pins and needles for the announcement of license winners along with these applicants.
