Four New Mass Vaccination Sites

In addition to the DuPage County Health Department Community Vaccination Site in Wheaton, 4 new State mass vaccination sites have been announced by IDPH. The new sites are located in Waukegan (April 1), Aurora (April 2), Joliet (April 2), and the expansion of Grundy County’s vaccination location to a mass vaccination site. These suburban vaccination sites add to 13 other State mass vaccination clinics that are available regardless of zip codes, including Batavia, Tinley Park, Des Plaines, Triton College in River Grove, South Suburban College in South Holland, and Forest Park.

Distracted Driving Awareness Month

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month across the nation, and the Lombard Police Department is urging drivers to drop their phones and focus on the road with a not-so-subtle reminder: “Phone in One Hand. Ticket in the Other.”

April is Safe Digging Month: Call JULIE Before You Dig!

Putting up a fence, installing a mailbox post, building a deck or patio and planting trees and shrubs are all common examples of digging projects that require a call to JULIE first. This is a free call and service.

April marks National Safe Digging Month across the United States, reminding homeowners and professional excavators in Illinois to contact JULIE, Inc. (JULIE) at 8-1-1 before every digging project this spring, regardless of the size or depth.

Fighting the Spread of Illness

As of March 30th, Region 8 (including Lombard) has experienced 6 days of COVID-19 patient increases. In order to move to Phase 5, Region 8’s progress in the fight against COVID-19 must continue. It is up to each one of us to take personal action to help slow the spread of illness.

Safety Precautions Continue for Vaccinated Individuals

For now, if you’ve been fully vaccinated, you should still take steps to protect yourself and others in many situations. Precautions include wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.

To help protect those that have not yet been vaccinated, the CDC recommends that you continue to take these precautions in the following situations:

When you are in public
Gathering with unvaccinated people from more than one other household
Visiting with an unvaccinated person who is at increased risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 or who lives with a person at increased risk
You should still avoid medium or large-sized gatherings

Additional Precautions

You should still delay domestic and international travel. If you do travel, you’ll still need to follow CDC requirements and recommendations.
You should still watch out for symptoms of COVID-19, especially if you’ve been around someone who is sick. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested and stay home and away from others.
You will still need to follow guidance at your workplace.
