EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 25, 2020
Tier 2 Resurgence Mitigations
As detailed in the July 15 Restore Illinois
resurgence plan, Tier 2 mitigations may be applied if a region’s
positivity
rate remains above the 8 percent positivity threshold after 14
days under Tier 1 mitigations. If a region continues to
experience a sustained resurgence of COVID-19 after 14 days with
Tier 2 mitigations in place, stricter measures
may be necessary to curtail further spread.
Regions experiencing a sustained resurgence of COVID-19 after
14 days in Tier 1 mitigations will operate
under these Tier 2 mitigation requirements:

IDPH will continue to track the positivity rate in regions requiring
additional mitigations over a 14-day monitoring period
to determine if mitigations can be relaxed, if additional mitigations
are required, or if current mitigation should remain in
place. If the positivity rate averages less than or equal to 6.5
percent over a 3-day period, the region will return to Phase
4 mitigations under the Restore Illinois Plan. If the positivity
rate averages between 6.5 percent and 8 percent, IDPH will
continue to monitor the region to determine if additional mitigations
are needed. If the positivity rate averages greater
than or equal to 8 percent after 14 days, more stringent mitigations
may be applied to further reduce spread of the virus,
which could include reducing capacity on organized group recreation,
fitness or other activities supported by local
contact tracing and outbreak data and temporary suspension of
certain activities.

October 7, 2020
Dear Lee County Bars & Restaurants:
Our office has received numerous calls, Facebook messages and
e-mails with questions about Friday’s Governor’s Executive
Order regarding indoor dining. These calls have been from food
facility operators who are complying with the order, food facility
operators who are not complying with the order and the general
public.
Please be aware that the Lee County Health Department (LCHD)
continues to advocate for mutually agreeable mitigation procedures
for inclusion by the Governor’s Office. In the interim,
please follow the Governor’s Executive Order to aid in
the reduction of the positivity rate for the COVID-19 virus.
This e-mail serves as notification of the enforcement procedure
for the Governor’s Executive Orders for the COVID-19 pandemic.
1. Verbal education, if possible
2. Subsequent complaints will be verified by LCHD personnel.
Compliance with the indoor dining, outdoor dining, face-covering
requirement and the spacing of tables 6 feet apart will be verified.
3. If non-compliance with the orders is observed, a Notice of
Non-Compliance will be issued.
4. For facilities that continue to be non-compliant with the
Executive Orders, The LCHD will make referrals to any or all
of the following: Attorney General’s Office, State Police
and Liquor Commissioners.
We’ve been informed that if businesses choose not to follow
the mitigation measures and the health department complaint
records are pulled on an establishment that has a pending grant
application, the funding stream could be suspended for that
business. Additionally, if a COVID-19 outbreak, as defined by
IDPH, is linked to your establishment, your food permit may
be pulled without further notice.
Attached please find the Governor’s Executive Order #202-56
for reference and the Resurgence Mitigation.
Sincerely,
Cathy Ferguson-Allen, M.P.H.
Administrator

"Restore Illinois is about saving
lives and livelihoods. This five-phased plan will reopen our
state, guided by health metrics and with distinct business,
education, and recreation activities characterizing each phase.
This is an initial framework that will likely be updated as
research and science develop and as the potential for treatments
or vaccines is realized. The plan is based upon regional healthcare
availability, and it recognizes the distinct impact COVID-19
has had on different regions of our state as well as regional
variations in hospital capacity. The Illinois Department of
Public Health (IDPH) has 11 Emergency Medical Services Regions
that have traditionally guided its statewide public health work
and will continue to inform this reopening plan. For the purposes
of this plan, from those 11, four health regions are established,
each with the ability to independently move through a phased
approach: Northeast Illinois; North-Central Illinois; Central
Illinois; and Southern Illinois."
The five phases for each health region
are as follows:
|
Phase 1 - Rapid Spread: The
rate of infection among those tested and the number of
patients admitted to the hospital is high or rapidly increasing.
Strict stay at home and social distancing guidelines are
put in place and only essential businesses remain open.
Every region has experienced this phase once already,
and could return to it if mitigation efforts are unsuccessful.
Phase 2 - Flattening: The rate
of infection among those tested and the number of patients
admitted to the hospital beds and ICU beds increases at
an ever slower rate, moving toward a flat and even a downward
trajectory. Nonessential retail stores reopen for curb-side
pickup and delivery. Illinoisans are directed to wear
a face covering when outside the home and can begin enjoying
additional outdoor activities like golf, boating and fishing
while practicing social distancing. To varying degrees,
every region is experiencing flattening as of early May.
Phase 3 - Recovery: The rate
of infection among those surveillance tested, the number
of patients admitted to the hospital, and the number of
patients needing ICU beds is stable or declining. Manufacturing,
offices, retail, barbershops and salons can reopen to
the public with capacity and other limits and safety precautions.
Gatherings limited to 10 people or fewer are allowed.
Face coverings and social distancing are the norm.
Phase 4 - Revitalization: The
rate of infection among those surveillance tested and
the number of patients admitted to the hospital continues
to decline. Gatherings of 50 people or fewer are allowed,
restaurants and bars reopen, travel resumes, child care
and schools reopen under guidance from the Illinois Department
of Public Health. Face coverings and social distancing
are the norm.
Phase 5 - Illinois Restored:
With a vaccine or highly effective treatment widely available
or the elimination of any new cases over a sustained period,
the economy fully reopens with safety precautions continuing.
Conventions, festivals and large events are permitted,
and all businesses, schools and places of recreation can
open with new safety guidance and procedures in place
reflecting the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Until COVID-19 is defeated, this plan also recognizes
that just as health metrics will tell us it is safe to
move forward, health metrics may also tell us to return
to a prior phase. With a vaccine or highly effective treatment
not yet available, IDPH will be closely monitoring key
metrics to immediately identify trends in cases and hospitalizations
to determine whether a return to a prior phase may become
necessary.
