What is the status of my pending Wisconsin Speeding Ticket and Illinois Driver's License during the Coronavirus Covid-19 Pandemic?

I saw firsthand many speeding and other traffic tickets being continued into June despite temporary closures being announced only into April. Speeding and traffic tickets have largely fallen into a category of non-essential court matters and may not be resolved as previously scheduled. A local news source in Milwaukee, WI recently reported on the postponed traffic and criminal court dates in Milwaukee.
