ALERT: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update for Employers & Confirmed Cases in Illinois

Attached are recent documents released by OSHA and the US Department of Human Health & Services with regard to preparing workplaces for COVID-19.

In addition, attached is a very easy to read sheet on “Keeping the Workplace Safe”. Please share as you see fit.

As of this afternoon, the Illinois Dept. of Public Health is currently reporting 25 positive cases of COVID-19. The state has currently tested 367 people for the virus, with 267 being negative with another 75 results still pending. 

The location of positive cases are as follows: 22 positive cases in Cook County/Chicago; one positive case each in Kane, Lake and McHenry counties.

As we learn more, CICI will send out additional information. 

Thanks. Mark      

Note: Status of future CICI meetings for April & May is currently being evaluated. When decisions are made, we’ll notify the membership.
