As the State of Illinois continues to take aggressive action to minimize the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in all communities, Governor JB Pritzker has ordered that all bars and restaurants be closed to the public, beginning at the close of business today, Monday, March 16, through Monday, March 30.

This order applies to all restaurants and bars in Glenview. These establishments, however, will be allowed to continue food delivery and put in place drive-thru and curbside pickup options. Contact them about their service availability (Here's a list of restaurants in the Village). The Glenview Chamber of Commerce is creating a list of the services being offered by its members which may be available tomorrow.

One of the best ways to help our local businesses is by supporting them financially but keeping a physical distance:  

Due to unexpected needs for parking at residences, the Village is ending the winter overnight street parking ban ahead of the normal March 31 date. There are no accumulating snow events forecast in the next 10 days. All vehicles can park on residential public streets without restriction.

All meetings of Village boards and commissions have been cancelled through at least April 5. While the Glenview Municipal Center remains open and fully operational, the public is encouraged to conduct Village business by phone or online. These services can be done online:

At this time, the Village has been informed by Groot that all garbage and recycling collections are continuing as regularly scheduled.

Read the full recommendation.

The Village's First Friday recycling event scheduled for April 3 is canceled and the first three seasonal electronics drop-off events scheduled by the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County have been canceled.

Person-to-person spread of COVID-19 appears to be mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. Social distancing is recommended to slow the spread of COVID-19.
