Stay at Home Order

On March 31, 2020 Governor Pritzker extended the Stay at Home Order through April 30, 2020. The Stay at Home Order requires everyone to stay in their homes to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. The order prohibits things like visiting other people’s homes (except to provide care or supplies) and gatherings of more than 10 people and closes all nonessential establishments, including most retail, recreation and entertainment businesses. It does NOT prohibit essential activities like going to the grocery store, receiving medical care, or taking your pet for a walk. It is critical that everyone follows this order to do their part to help avoid spreading the virus. As a reminder all playgrounds are closed per the Governor’s order. Parks and trails remain open at this time, but social distancing must be followed if they are used. This means that large groups should not congregate on basketball and tennis courts, around lakes and in ball fields. To learn more about the Stay at Home Order click here.
