You're referring to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary elections in the United States. Despite concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, voters in three states - Arizona, Florida, and Illinois - went to the polls on March 17, 2020, to cast their ballots.
Here are the results:
Arizona:
- Joe Biden won the state with 47.4% of the vote, followed by Bernie Sanders with 33.3%.
- Biden won 36 delegates, while Sanders won 14.
Florida:
- Joe Biden won the state with 62.8% of the vote, followed by Bernie Sanders with 36.4%.

Illinois:
- Joe Biden won the state with 59.5% of the vote, followed by Bernie Sanders with 39.5%.
- Biden won 76 delegates, while Sanders won 0.
These results brought Biden's total delegate count to 1,217, while Sanders had 864 delegates. However, the Democratic National Convention was eventually postponed due to the pandemic, and the nomination process was suspended until further notice.
It's worth noting that the primaries were conducted with various measures in place to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, such as social distancing, mask-wearing, and increased cleaning and disinfection protocols.
