Local Guide: Businesses Open, Closed During Coronavirus Outbreak

MCHENRY COUNTY, IL — The coronavirus outbreak is having a profound impact on local businesses, which depend on foot-traffic and in-person interactions with their customers. Despite those challenges, many businesses have found ways to stay open and offer delivery, pick-up and safe-distance transactions to serve the community.

With that in mind, we asked local businesses to let us know whether they are open or closed and give details on how you can continue to patronize their establishments during this pandemic.

You can find the local guide here.

Here are what just a few local businesses are doing:

• Crystal Lake Ski and Bike, 905 Pyott Road, Crystal Lake, is offering curbside repair drop-offs as well as pick-ups. More via Crystal Lake Ski and Bike.
