April 3, 2020 COVID-19 Update from the Village of Lombard

Village and Park District Joint Statement: MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

The Village of Lombard and the Lombard Park District have shared a joint statement with residents, reminding everyone to adhere social distancing guidelines while enjoying outdoor spaces.

The Lombard Police Department and the Lombard Park District are working cooperatively together on enforcement, including dispersing groups using playgrounds or athletic fields. Lombard Police are monitoring these areas and ask for your voluntary compliance.

Please STAY AT HOME: Lombard First Responders Need Your Cooperation Now. Are you #allinillinois?

The effects of COVID-19 are expected to reach a peak in the coming weeks. It is absolutely critical that everyone does their part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 right now. The goal of this combined effort is to help reduce the overwhelming burden on first responders and medical professionals, who are faced with the challenge of limited medical supplies in comparison to the number of patients. While most residents continue to do their part, it is important that we all reassess our actions to ensure maximum cooperation.

What STAYING HOME looks like:

Being indoors with your usual household members
Being outdoors in your yard with your usual household members
Cleaning up winter debris from your yard, general lawn care, gardening
Going for a walk or bike ride in the neighborhood, keeping a distance of at least 6 feet from fellow residents or neighbors you encounter
One household member (when possible) going on infrequent and brief trips to the grocery store and maintaining social distancing when in public
One household member (when possible) picking up dinner from a local restaurant that provides curbside or pick up

What STAYING HOME does NOT look like:

Inviting friends or extended family over for a play date, to study, or play video games
Gatherings of any kind, including faith-based gatherings, with anyone outside of your household members
Inviting neighbors over for a backyard barbeque
Gathering to play a team or contact sport with shared equipment, such as a basketball
Hosting small gatherings with extended family or friends, even if the limit is fewer than 10 persons

Senior Citizen Resources: Senior Shopping Hours

The Village of Lombard has compiled a list of resources for senior citizens, including senior shopping hours at grocery stores and pharmacies, details about foodbanks, and contact information for local organizations that are focused on providing senior assistance.

If senior citizen information does not apply to you directly, we are hoping residents will share this information with senior citizens they know. With your help, we will all get through this together #LombardStrong.

DuPage County Health Department

The DuPage County Health Department COVID-19 dashboard, shows the number of lab confirmed COVID-19 cases in each municipality.

The best way you can protect yourself is to socially distance yourself from people outside of your home, and limit your potential exposure. Wash your hands regularly, for 20 seconds, using soap, and do not touch your face with unwashed hands.

Waste Management Update

No Bulk Collection Until Further Notice
Waste Management has ceased collecting overly bulky or heavy items due to worker safety. Any items more than 50-pounds or that cannot be easily carried by one worker without touching the body will not be picked up until further notice.

Yard Waste Collection Begins April 6
The Waste Management yard waste collection program in Lombard begins the first full week in April (April 6, 2020) and ends the second full week in December.

In relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and state-wide Stay-at-Home Mandate, Waste Management is planning at this time to continue with their yard waste collection program. Any subsequent updates will be announced on the Village website and social media.
