Amid a COVID omicron surge, Highland Park, Oak Park and Evanston have adopted vaccine requirements similar to the Cook County, Illinois mandate.
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss said the new rules are necessary"to slow the spread of this disease and keep each other safe." An Evanston press release said the city will hold a virtual Q&A for business owners and employees on Tuesday, Jan. 4 to provide information and answer questions regarding the new mitigations.
"We are taking these temporary steps to mitigate the impact on our increasingly burdened health care system," Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering said in a statement, citing rising COVID-19 cases. She added that"the city remains committed to partnering with business owners to provide support as they continue to weather the economic impacts and short- and long-term consequences of the pandemic."Orland Park, Arlington Heights mayors want to leave Cook Co.
Still, some suburban communities have already taken steps to defy Cook County's proof-of-vaccination requirement. The Village Board in Orland Park voted 6-0 to not enforce the mandate. Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau has been outspoken against many mitigation efforts throughout the pandemic.
