This order eliminates and supersedes any existing emergency order or ordinance issued by a county or the Village that imposes restrictions or mandates upon businesses or individuals due to the COVID-19 emergency.

The following circumstances require employees to wear a mask while on duty. • When traversing through any Village facility • When working in an enclosed work area (e.g., front desk, counter area, cubicle, areas of confined space) with another person(s) • When the Department Head deems it necessary to maintain the health and safety of staff and/or community 'The Village will issue facemasks if requested by employees. If there are additional people barriers needed to ensure safety we can supply those as well. 1. Social Distance: The employee should maintain 6 feet and practice social distancing as work duties permit in the workplace. 2. Disinfect and Clean work spaces: Clean and disinfect all areas such as offices, bathrooms, common areas, shared electronic equipment routinely. Management is keeping existing policies in place through May 30th in order to keep employees and residents safe, while sharing useful information, and giving all employees an opportunity to get vaccinated which should help curtail the spread of communicable diseases.
