Highland Park Issues Supplemental Order Regarding Golf Courses

HIGHLAND PARK, IL—The city issued a new supplemental order Thursday to clarify public health requirements mandated by the city and the provisions of Gov. J.B. Pritzker's updated stay-at-home order.

The governor's order, which was signed Thursday, extends the statewide stay-at-home order and enacts specific modifications designed to lessen restrictions on individuals and businesses while still maintaining strict social distancing to manage the spread of COVID-19.

It also requires everyone over the age of two to wear a face covering in public places when a six-foot distance from others cannot be maintained. Additionally, among other modifications, it allows golf courses to reopen provided strict safety guidelines from the Illinois DCEO are followed.

The city's supplemental order issued Thursday includes the following provisions:

• Golf courses may reopen on Friday, May 1. Golf courses and players must remain in strict compliance with the Updated Stay at Home Order and the requirements implemented by the DCEO. All other health clubs, recreational clubs, and motion picture and live performance theaters that were closed pursuant to the City's March 16, 2020 Order must remain closed.
• Face coverings continue to be required for all residents, employees, and visitors to the City of Highland Park over the age of two. Although not specified as such in the governor's updated stay-at-home order, within Highland Park people working at construction sites, automotive repair shops or engaged in landscaping activities must wear a face covering.
