Preventative measures taken to promote public safety

Bourbonnais, IL - The Village of Bourbonnais announces the closure of the Administration Building lobby at 600 Main Street NW. Monday, October 19, 2020, a village employee tested positive for COVID-19. As a precautionary measure, village officials immediately closed the lobby. Those employees who were in “close contact” with the employee have been identified and sent home to safely isolate. The lobby will remain closed through Friday, October 23, and the decision to reopen will be revisited again by officials on Monday, October 26. 

For COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) defines a “close contact” as “any individual who was within six feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from two days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, two days prior to positive testing) until the time the patient is isolated.”
