SPRINGFIELD – Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday issued a “Stay at Home” order throughout Illinois, directing all residents to stay home except to conduct essential business, and all non-essential businesses to stop operations.

The order, which takes effect at 5 p.m.

Saturday, will extend at least through Tuesday, April 7. It was the latest and most sweeping step the Pritzker administration has taken to slow the spread of the highlycontagious novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, but it does allow several exemptions.

“We have looked closely at the trajectory of this virus in countries like Italy and China. Left unchecked, cases in Illinois will rise rapidly,” Pritzker said during his daily briefing in Chicago. “Hospital systems will be overwhelmed. Protective equipment will become scarce, and we will not have enough health care workers or hospital beds or ventilators for the overwhelming influx of sick patients.”

Amid crisis, all hands on deck

Proviso churches, nonprofits, restaurants address food needs as most residents head indoors

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Across Proviso Township, community members and business owners were busy Saturday preparing for when Gov. JB Pritzker’s shelter-in-place order took effect at 5 p.m. The order will last until 11:59 p.m. on April 3.

In Maywood, dozens of cars queued outside of God’s Heritage Full Gospel Church, 1200 S. 5th Ave., for local volunteers, including Maywood Mayor Edwenna

Perkins, to fill their trunks with muchneeded groceries. The event was the result of a collaboration between Best of Proviso Township, Next Generation Church, Impact Church, God’s Heritage, and the HoJo Family Assistance Program.

Randall McFarland, the founder of the nonprofit Best of Proviso Township, said on the group’s Facebook page that HoJo brought 10,000 pounds of food, which was gone in a few hours. McFarland said that he and his colleagues hope to host another food drive in other Proviso Township

communities.

“We will need support to pull this off again,” McFarland said. “We have to help [HoJo] with the logistics of this. […] We know what’s going on in our society now, so we want to make sure our community is stocked up.”

Across town, local restaurants braced for 5 p.m., and the prospects of what might come afterward. Most restaurants contacted for this article explained that they will continue serving customers See FOOD DRIVE on page 8

VILLAGE people Maywood mourns Robert Jay, 61

Publisher Dan Haley

“To learn to be human is to develop through the give and take of communication an effective sense of being an individually distinctive member of a community.”

—John Dewey

The village of Maywood is mourning the loss of a longtime employee in the village’s public works department. Robert Jay, 61, died last week from natural causes.

In addition to a veteran public works employee, Jay was also a longtime deacon and leader at Second Baptist

Church in Maywood, and a Little League baseball coach.

He was a coach in the Maywood-Bellwood Little League, which included four of his grandchildren, and helped coordinate a baseball league formed by the Maywood Sports Association in 2015.

“We have lost a loved one here in Maywood,” said Maywood Mayor Edwenna Perkins during a March 17 board meeting. “We’re asking for prayer for him and his family.”

Services were held over the weekend at Second Baptist Church, 436 S. 13th Ave. in Maywood.

Davis wins comfortably, but pandemic is top of mind Boykin loses bid for circuit court clerk, while Foxx defeats Conway

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Congressman Danny K. Davis cruised to victory in the Democratic primary on March 17 to once again become his party’s nominee for Congress in Illinois’ 7th District.

The 24-year incumbent won Chicago with 66 percent of the vote and won the Cook County suburbs with 52 percent of the vote.

None of Davis’ three younger challengers -- Austin gun control activist Kina Collins, Oak Park teacher and activist Anthony Clark and Chicago attorney Kristine Schanbacher -- garnered more than 20 percent of the vote in the city or suburbs.

When reached by phone on March 18, the congressman’s mood was less celebratory than cautiously optimistic that the U.S. Senate would pass a coronavirus-related economic relief bill that he and his colleagues in the U.S. House passed on early Saturday morning.

The bill, which was passed for a second time on Monday due to a technicality, includes an increase in unemployment insurance, paid sick and family leave for some workers and a provision that allows citizens to receive free coronavirus testing.

According to multiple reports, the U.S. Senate is expected to pass the bill last Wednesday.

“The coronavirus obviously has the country within its grasp at this moment,” Davis said during an interview from his West Side office.

Normally, he would be preparing to fly to Washington, D.C. on March 23, he said.

“We don’t know when we will go back,” Davis said. “We don’t know what the schedule will be until the House leadership makes that determination.”

Meanwhile, Davis said, House members have been communicating by email and phone.

“A few days ago, there were more than 200 of us members on the call,” Davis said.

“That means everybody is as interested as they can be, especially right now. People’s jobs have been shut down, they can’t work.

Hopefully, we’ll have a real federal response to this in a minute.”

Davis, who was in office when 9/11 and the Great Recession happened, said that this current crisis is different from the others, because it directly involves public health and the answers to resolving the crisis are less obvious.

“We know what’s causing this, but we don’t know that we’ve got an antidote,” he said.

“We’re saying the best way to keep this from spreading is just don’t get together. That sounds strange and vague to a lot of people, but that’s what the experts say that we have to do. Let’s put as much faith as we can in what our leaders and experts are telling us.

Beyond that, I really don’t know if there’s much else that can be done.”

Boykin comes up short for clerk of the courts State Sen. Iris Y. Martinez will likely succeed Dorothy Brown as Cook County Circuit Court Clerk after beating back three other challengers, including Oak Park attorney and former Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin.

Martinez garnered 32 percent of the vote in the suburbs, with Michael M. Cabonargi trailing closely behind with 31 percent.

Boykin garnered 24 percent of the suburban vote while Jacob Meister received 13 percent.

In the city, Martinez won 36 percent of the vote, trailed by Boykin (26 percent), Cabonargi (24 percent) and Meister (14 percent).

Barbara Bellar ran unopposed in the Republican primary for Circuit Court Clerk.

Foxx beats Conway Kim Foxx, the incumbent Cook County State’s Attorney who had become embroiled in controversy connected to her handling of the Jussie Smollett case, prevailed over attorney Bill Conway in the Democratic primary for that office.

Foxx beat Conway 43 percent to 36 percent in the suburbs and 56 percent to 28 percent in the city. Attorney Donna More and attorney Bob Fioretti polled a distant third and fourth.

State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th) and state Sen. Kimberly Lightford (4th) both ran unopposed in their respective Democratic primaries.

Local leaders urge governor to reopen Westlake Rep. Welch, hospital association say shuttered Melrose Park institution could help coronavirus patients

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

An area lawmaker and various hospital administrators across the state are urging Gov. JB Pritzker to reopen shuttered hospitals, including Westlake Hospital, 1225 W. Lake St. in Melrose Park, in order to shore up resources in the fight against the spread of COVID-19.

According to a new analysis by the Harvard Global Health Institute, many parts of the country will not have enough hospital beds if the novel coronavirus spreads beyond the capacity of medical providers to handle the virus.

“In 40 percent of markets around the country, hospitals would not be able to make enough room for all the patients who became ill with Covid-19, even if they could empty their beds of other patients,” according to a New York Times report. “That statistic assumes that 40 percent of adults become infected with the virus over 12 months, a scenario described as ‘moderate’ by the team behind the calculations.”

According to an interactive map available at ProPublica and the New York Times, if 40

percent of adults are infected with the virus over 12 months, the west suburban region (represented by Melrose Park) “would need to empty or add the equivalent of 97% of its occupied beds.”

Yesterday, “state officials also reported 134 new cases, bringing the statewide total to 422, with at least four deaths,” according to a report by the Chicago Tribune.

On Thursday, Pritzker called up about 60 members of the Illinois National Guard to help provide medical expertise and to perform various tasks, such as handing out food to those in need, across the state.

In a statement released on March 20, state Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch (7th), whose district includes much of Proviso Township, said that the guardsmen should also help reopen the shuttered Westlake hospital, which closed last year weeks. The hospital’s for-profit parent company, California-based Pipeline Health, announced its intention to close the institution in early 2019, just weeks after finalizing the purchase.

“What we have learned about the COVID-19 pandemic is that it will continue to put a major strain on our health care facilities and their ability to properly treat

all patients that need care,” Welch said. “In order to protect the health and safety of our communities, we have to expand access to health care resources for coronavirus patients and all other individuals seeking medical attention. That is why I am calling on Gov. Pritzker to reopen Westlake Hospital to help provide additional medical resources and services to our neighbors who need it most.”

According to a Tribune report, a spokesperson for the Illinois Health and Hospitals Association also recommended that Pritzker consider reopening Westlake, along with two other hospitals across the state that closed within the last two years: Metro South Medical Center in Blue Island and Vibra Hospital in Springfield.

“Whether expanded facilities come from reopened hospitals, converted vacant space or temporary construction carried out by the National Guard, none of the new facilities will take weeks to outfit for use, said IHA spokesman Danny Chun,” the Tribune reports.

“I applaud Gov. Pritzker for the bold action he has taken so far to protect the public health of our state, including enlisting the

help of the Illinois National Guard,” Welch said on Friday. “In his daily news briefing yesterday, Gov. Pritzker mentioned that the National Guard’s work could potentially include reopening previously closed hospitals. I strongly encourage the governor to explore this option and specifically look toward reopening Westlake Hospital during this challenging time.”

A day after Welch released his statement urging Pritzker to reopen Westlake, the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership launched the petition drive to pressure the state to reopen closed hospitals.

“We as faith leaders, parents, students and Illinois residents from the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership (CSPL), a coalition of twenty parishes, community organizations and universities, join the urgent call issued by Representative Chris Welch, the Illinois Health and Hospital Association and others in urging you to move swiftly to reopen Westlake Hospital, Metro South Medical Center and Vibra Hospital,” the petition states.

Broadview suspends water turnoffs Broadview Food Pantry switches to pick-up service amid pandemic

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a regular board meeting on March 16, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson issued an executive order announcing that the village will not any issue any water account turnoff notices while the country is suspended in a state of national emergency prompted by the coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus causes COVID-19, a contagious respiratory illness.

Thompson said that the order was issued

to “alleviate the financial impact of the COVID-19 crisis,” adding that the village is also “taking steps to see how it can change procedures regarding” debt collection.

“We have to work together to keep our community strong,” Thompson said during the meeting, which was only open to certain village officials and closed to the public.

Earlier on Monday, Gov. JB Pritzker used emergency powers to waive part of the Illinois Open Meetings Act “to allow local governments and other public bodies to hold ‘remote’ meetings to help control the spread of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19,” according to Capitol News Illinois.

“The order waives a portion of the Open Meetings Act that requires a quorum of members of a public body be ‘physically present’ at the meeting location, and

limits the circumstances under which an individual member may take part by video or audio conference,” Capitol News reports.

“The Open Meetings Act requires public bodies to provide public notice of a meeting, including the agenda, at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting,” Capitol News reported.

Don Craven, legal counsel to the Illinois Press Association, “encouraged all news outlets that cover those meetings to immediately submit requests for notice of any special, emergency or regular meeting.”

During Monday’s meeting in Broadview, which was streamed live on Facebook and is available at the village’s website, Thompson said that she told her department heads not to attend the meeting due to health concerns.

Thompson said that over the last seven

to 10 days, she’s been on several conference calls with the village administrator, the fire chief and Trustee Judy Miller, the chairperson of the board’s Water, Drainage and Health Committee, ahead of announcing the executive order on Monday.

During the March 16 meeting, Broadview Clerk Kevin McGrier announced that the Broadview Food Pantry will temporarily change how they distribute food to residents in need. Starting Tuesday, the food pantry will be taking orders via phone for curbside pickup, he said.

Residents can order pickup by calling (708) 344-4520 on Tuesdays, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.; or Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For more info, call the number provided above.

Maywood mayor declares state of emergency Village facilities closed, water turnoffs canceled, among other measures taken

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Maywood’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously during a March 17 regular meeting to declare a state of emergency in the village and to enact sweeping measures designed to contain the spread of the coronavirus and COVID-19, the respiratory disease it causes.

The state of emergency gives Mayor Edwenna Perkins the ability to approve emergency purchases without board approval and waives the bidding process on emergency contracts worth up to $40,000.

“This allows quicker action,” said village attorney Michael Jurusik, referencing the declaration. “This is not a dictatorship. It doesn’t expand [the mayor’s] powers in any other way. It is limited to the emergency at hand.”

Jurusik added that declaring a state of emergency is required if the village hopes to apply for any state and/or federal reimbursements that may be available either before or after the COVID-19 crisis abates.

The board also approved a series of preventive measures in line with actions taken last week by President Donald Trump and Gov. JB Pritzker — both of whom declared states of emergency in light of the coronavirus outbreak. The World Health Organization has formally called the outbreak a pandemic.

So far, there have been 160 cases of COVID-19 reported in 15 counties in Illinois, with 55 cases reported on March 17 alone, according to state health officials. The cases have occurred in people ages 9 to 91. There have not yet been any confirmed cases in Maywood, village officials said.

“I, the mayor of Maywood, declare that this is an emergency,” said Mayor Edwenna Perkins during Tuesday’s meeting, adding

that she will sign a formal written declaration when it becomes available.

“We have followed the protocol and our concern is for your health,” Perkins told audience members. “This is for your benefit, as well as ours […] we are trying to get in front of this. Make sure you’re safe. Do what you can and take care of your seniors.”

Jurusik said that Gov. Pritzker has recommended that all gatherings in the state be limited to under 50 people and that all local government board meetings be postponed, limited to elected officials and/or conducted electronically, if possible.

With Tuesday’s vote, the village put into immediate effect a series of preventative measures that would encourage social distancing, or the act of limiting person-toperson interaction.

Now until April 30, all village board meetings will be closed to the public and accessible either by public access TV or on the village’s digital live-stream. Residents will be able to submit their public comments in writing. Details of that process will be available on the village’s website, officials said.

Maywood Police Chief Vladimir Talley said that basic reports will be taken over the phone; the department’s lobby has been closed to the public and the station will be limited to employees and people who are in custody who have felonies. Detainees who have nonviolent, non-felony, fineable offenses will be released on bond. Talley added that police have been regularly disinfecting the station.

Maywood Fire Chief Craig Bronaugh said that his department has been coordinating with Loyola University Medical Center on best practices. He said that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners has canceled a firefighter entrance exam scheduled for next month.

“I encourage my colleagues and citizens to continue to seek as much information as you can and implement [protective measures] for you and your families,” Bronaugh said. “If you have any concerns and you feel like you need treatment, please contact your family physician, an immediate or urgent care facility, the closes emergency room or various resources like the Cook County Department of Public Health and the Illinois Department of Public Health.”

Bronaugh also encouraged residents to remain vigilant about other threats, as well.

For instance, he said, there was a house fire in Maywood on Friday evening. No injuries were reported, but the emergency speaks to the importance of working fire alarms in the home — a safety precaution that the fire chief has been outspoken about.

Norfleet said that Maywood employees with essential functions, such as department heads, will continue to report to work, but all employees who are sick or who have a phobia will be allowed to leave. The village manager cautioned, however, that the village will not pay out more sick leave than is already available.

“If you have to leave, you can go,” Norfleet said, addressing village employees. “If you don’t have to leave, you can also go, but the payment will be limited to [whatever sick leave you have] or what the state and federal governments provide.”

Addressing concerns of local businesses, David Myers, the village’s community development director, said that local restaurants should comply with Gov. Pritzker’s ban on dine-in meals and bars.

Restaurants can still serve patrons, but service must be limited to carry-out, drivethru and curbside options. Establishments must also comply with the state’s coronavirus guidelines.

Other emergency measures effective now until April 30 in Maywood: • Residents are now required to utilize online payment options and the bill collection box outside of Village Hall, 40 Madison St. The box is next to the US postbox. Maywood Finance Director Lanya Satchell said that the village should be ready to process online payments in roughly a week.

Residents will not be penalized if they cannot make payments until then, she said.

• Water shutoffs have been suspended and penalties will not be applied to utility bills.

• Contact between village employees and business will be limited to phone, email and post mail communication.

• The village’s community development department will take only pre-arranged appointments.

• Municipal court has been suspended • All meetings, events and activities scheduled to take place the Maywood Multipurpose Building, 200 S. 5th Ave., and at Council Chambers, 125 S. 5th Ave., have been suspended. This includes Friday meetings of the Maywood Senior Club and activities in the Multipurpose Building’s gymnasium.

• The village’s senior bus service has been suspended.

• Maywood Alternative Policing Strategies (MAPS) meetings have been suspended.

• Committee and commission meetings will be limited to members only and closed to the public.

D209 officials: Despite school closures, learning continues Officials say 3 in 4 students attended online classes, over 650 meals served

By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a March 20 video message to families and staffers, District 209 officials deemed the first several days of school closures for Proviso Township High School students a success. Last week, Gov. JB Pritzker announced that all schools statewide would close on March 16, in order to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.

The closure prompted D209, along with many school districts in the state, to transition to remote learning, or electronic learning (e-learning), practices while students are at home. The governor’s school shutdown order was initially supposed to last until March 29, but on Friday Pritzker said that the order would be extended until April 7. That timeline, too, is subject to change.

During the March 20 video, Assistant Superintendent for Academics and Family Services Nicole Howard touted D209’s first week online learning attendance numbers.

“About 73 percent of students reported their attendance and over 4,100 users have accessed [e-learning] teams,” she said.

“We have received reports of creative and

engaging interactions.”

Howard pointed to a variety of examples that she said only scratched the surface of online engagement that’s been happening — from Proviso West teachers piloting online student debates to a Proviso Math and Science Academy teacher conducting a live lab demonstration online.

Howard added that, although the state initially prohibited teachers from grading or scoring students’ work while schools are closed during what educators call an ‘act of god’ period, there have been some updates to that blanket prohibition.

She said that state has upgraded its guidance on online grading so that teachers using traditional grading may give “only passing scores that do not lower a students’ overall grades or academic standing.”

Howard added that any teachers practicing within the district’s specialized Mastery Based Learning or Personalized Competency-Based Education curricula “can score as usual.” Howard said that’s “because students get multiple opportunities to achieve mastery, so they can’t be penalized for low performances during this ‘act of god’ period.”

Howard said that standardized tests, such

as AP, SAT and IB assessments, will change.

The College Board recently announced that it will start offering the AP test online to students across the country and the upcoming spring ACT tests were recently canceled.

“More information [on standardized test changes] will be given a soon as it becomes available,” Howard said.

Bessie Karvelas, D209’s chief innovation officer, said that maintenance and custodial staff workers will report to one of two shifts — one running from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and another running from 3:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“Staff are able to choose to work the shift best able to meet the needs of families, particularly during the closure,” she said.

Karvelas said that security teams will work in crews of two to three in order to secure buildings and facilitate the execution of ongoing activities like the district’s free ‘Grab & Go’ lunch and breakfast program.

Paul Starck-King, D209’s superintendent of finance and operations, said that the district has served some 250 meals per day through the program while schools have been closed. D209 Supt. Jesse Rodriguez said that total meals served total more than 650.

Rodriguez said that meals will also be served during spring break.

Karvelas said that staff members who are working in school buildings during the closure will engage in online professional development and completion evaluation documents remotely.

Stark-King added that summer construction on phase one renovation projects at all three high schools will so far move forward as scheduled. He said that the construction manager and architects for the projects are “fully aware” of the possible implications of the coronavirus “and will adjust accordingly” as the situation evolves.

During Friday’s video message, Rodriguez and D209 board President Ned Wagner tried reassuring families and employees amid the global pandemic.

“Everything is going to be OK,” he said.

“It’s up to us to ensure that things are OK.” “It has been inspiring to witness the dedication and hard work of each member of the Proviso community,” Rodriguez said.

SHELTER

State response from page 1 The order came as the Illinois Department of Public Health announced 163 new confirmed cases of the disease and one additional death, bringing the total, as of Friday afternoon, to 585 cases in 25 counties and five related deaths.

The most recent victim was a Cook County resident in her 70s.

Friday’s executive order supersedes a previous executive order that prohibited gatherings of 50 people or more. Prohibited activities include all public gatherings of any number of people outside of a single residence and all gatherings of 10 or more people, unless specifically exempted by the order.

The order also temporarily shutters amusement parks, carnivals, water parks, aquariums, zoos, museums, arcades, fairs, children’s play centers, playgrounds, funplexes, theme parks, bowling alleys, movie and other theaters, concert and music halls, country clubs and social clubs.

State and local law enforcement officials will have authority to enforce the order. In most cases, Pritzker said, that would involve officers telling people to disburse and go back home. If they don’t, he said, they could

be cited for disorderly conduct or other municipal offenses.

However, while the order is in effect, people will be allowed to leave their home for a wide range of other ordinary functions such as seeking medical attention and to acquire necessary supplies and services, including groceries, medicines and supplies that enable them to work from home.

They also will be allowed to leave home for outdoor activities such as walking, jogging, running or walking their dog, provided they maintain at least a six-foot distance from others.

People also may leave their home to take care of others and to perform certain types of work providing essential products and services at essential businesses and operations.

Essential activities include health care and public health operations, including veterinary care and the manufacturing and distribution of medical equipment; human services operations such as nursing homes that provide care to the frail, elderly and disabled; essential infrastructure such as food production and distribution, certain kinds of construction and operating public utilities; and essential government functions.

Essential businesses include such things as grocery stores and pharmacies; food, beverage and cannabis production; agriculture; organizations that provide

charitable and social services; newspapers, television, radio and other media services; gas stations and other businesses needed for transportation; financial institutions; and hardware and supply stores.

Per the order, bars and restaurants will still be allowed to offer carry-out, curbside pickup and delivery, and mail and shipping operations will continue as well. Critical trades, shelters and laundry services may also remain open.

And a non-essential business that must close its physical workplace may continue operating with employees working exclusively from home.

“I want to say and be clear, this is not a lockdown or martial law,” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said in an effort to calm the public’s nerves. “As the governor said, and I want to reiterate, Chicago’s grocery stores, pharmacies and clinics will remain open, and there’s absolutely no need to change your normal purchasing patterns.”

Dr. Emily Landon, lead epidemiologist at University of Chicago Medicine, described the measures as necessary and indicated they might have to remain in place beyond April 7.

“In short, without taking drastic measures, the healthy and optimistic among us will doom the vulnerable,” she said. “We have to fight this fire before it grows too high.”

“These extreme restrictions may seem, in the end, a little anticlimactic,” she

Tips if you plan on buying restaurant food during the shelter-inplace order: • Don’t assume the restaurant you’re looking to buy food from is closed because of the order. Many, if not most, restaurants are simply switching to carry-out or delivery options only. The state is only prohibiting people from dining in; not from buying restaurant food altogether.

• Remember, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that there’s no evidence showing that COVID-19 is transmitted through food.

FOOD DRIVE All in

• According to the Los Angeles Times: “Choose contactless delivery and opt out of utensils. After your delivery carrier has walked away, leave the outermost delivery bag on the doorstep (to throw away) if applicable, and carry just the containers inside to put on your counter.

from page 1 through delivery and/or pickup.

Danielle Rosas, who works at Cielito Lindo Cafe, 612 W. Lake St. in Maywood, said that business was markedly slower than usual, but that the restaurant has been buffered by community support.

“It’s slow, but we’re OK,” she said, adding that the restaurant has shifted to curbside pickup in order to comply with a state order mandating that all dine-in business be halted in order to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

“They’ll just have to call us to place the order and when they arrive, we’ll give them the food in the door,” she said. The restaurant will be open for pickup orders 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., every day except Wednesday.

At Kathy’s Cafe, 1008 S. 17th Ave. in Maywood, Becky Saylor, the daughter of owner Dennis Moran, said that the venerable neighborhood establishment is now open for takeout, despite closing its dining room.

“We put a window in, so we can do walkup orders,” Saylor said Saturday afternoon.

“We don’t have a drive-thru, so my dad put this window in. We’ll see how it goes. Right now, there are just a couple people working, because we don’t know what we’re going to run into. Its definitely been slow. We’re kind of seeing how it goes.”

continued, “because it’s really hard to feel like you’re saving the world when you’re watching Netflix from your couch. But if we do this right, nothing happens. Yeah, a successful shelter-in-place means that you’re going to feel like it was all for nothing. And you’d be right. Because nothing means that nothing happened to your family. And that’s what we’re going for here.”

Governors in California and New York state have also issued “Stay Home” orders.

Florida closed its restaurants, bars and gyms at the height of spring break season. And the federal government has also closed the U.SMexico border to all nonessential travel.

SHANEL ROMAIN

Becky Saylor, of Kathy’s Cafe in Maywood, stands in the new walk-up window that her father, owner Dennis Moran, built in anticipation of the state’s prohibition of dining options and the shelter-in-place order in effect through April 3.

Saylor said that the restaurant usually opens at 7 a.m. on Saturdays, but today it opened at 8 a.m. Going forward, she said, they’ll be playing it by ear.

“It’s like a day-to-day basis,” she said. “It all depends on how things go and what the world is like, so we can only hope for the best.”

At least one business in Proviso Township, China Gold Restaurant, 1901 Roosevelt Rd. in Broadview, has closed temporarily. When reached by phone, an automated message announced that the restaurant is closed from March 15 until March 31.

Roosevelt Rd. in Broadview, and Anthony B’s Pizza, 1504 S. 19th Ave. in Melrose Park, said they would be operating during their normal hours while the shelter-in-place order was in effect — the only difference is that there will be no dining in.

Cilantro Taco Grill, 1500 Mannheim Rd. in Stone Park, will be open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. — call-in orders only, which customers can pickup in the restaurant’s drive-thru.

Bravo Mexican Restaurant, 240 E. North Ave. in Northlake, said that it will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with hours likely to fluctuate.

Curbside pickup and deliveries only.

• “Wash your hands and transfer the food from the containers to your own dishware. Wash your hands well again and eat with your own utensils. When you’re done, recycle or discard packaging, wash your dishes and wipe down your table and counters.”

• Opt for contactless delivery, if possible. Per Today: “On third-party apps, choose contactless delivery. Many companies have made this their default setting for the foreseeable future.

• “When your order arrives […] ‘place the order outside your door and then disinfect the area.’ Avoid tipping with cash (as virus-causing germs can linger on paper), and opt for tipping through the app.”
