The coronavirus knows no age limits. This week on Statewide, we bring you the story of Dani Kater, McLean County's youngest victim. Her family recalls a woman in her 30's with no underlying health conditions who passed away this month.
We'll also hear how the pandemic has made it more difficult for those battling addiction. But also why some say treatment has prepared them for what was to come.
And a conversation with the next Illinois Senate Republican Leader.
Our lineup:
* Dana Vollmer from WGLT tells us about the youngest victim of COVID-19 in McLean County.
* Hannah Meisel speaks with the incoming Illinois Senate Republican Leader Dan McConchie. They discuss his vision for the minority party in the General Assembly.
