This past weekend the Governor announced the first confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19) case in DuPage County.  As of Monday the number has increased to 5, and is expected to continue rising in the short term.  The Village is taking steps to protect residents and employees during this time, limiting public interactions to more critical services.
