Revised Suburban Cook County Mitigation Guidelines
The Village sent an earlier email today with information that Region 10 (Suburban Cook County) had moved from Tier 1 mitigations to Phase 4 of the COVID-19 Restore Illinois Plan. Subsequent to Illinois' announcement, the Cook County Department of Public Health issued Mitigation Order 2021-1 to outline its approach to relaxing mitigations in Phase 4. Please adhere to the guidelines below for your business, and disregard information sent from the Village earlier today.

Restaurants

Bars, taverns or breweries without a food license can reopen indoors as long as they partner with a food establishment (e.g., making menus available and allowing delivery, allowing patrons to order from third-party delivery services). Indoor and outdoor table size limited to no more than six people.
• Table placement must allow for parties to be seated 6 feet apart from one another. Bar seating allowed with 6 ft between parties.
