Tier 2 Resurgence Mitigations to Take Effect on Wednesday, November 11

Posted on: November 9, 2020

Region 8, which includes Glen Ellyn, will move into Tier 2 resurgence mitigation rules effective Wednesday, November 11, due to worsening COVID-19 metrics in the region. Safety has and will continue to be one of Glen Ellyn Park District’s top priorities, and the District will continue to closely follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, Illinois Department of Public Health, Restore Illinois and local health officials as it pertains to public parks and recreation activities and facilities.

Most District programs and facilities are already operating within Tier 2 guidelines. However, please make note of the following changes as we transition from Tier 1 to Tier 2:

  • Prom with Mom scheduled for November 14th has been canceled. Full refunds will be issued.
  • Ackerman SFC Open House will now require pre-registration. Please watch for registration details to be posted at ackermansfc.com on November 10th.
  • Athletic programs will be modified to adhere to current guidelines. Participants will be contacted directly, if needed, regarding any changes.

Please watch for more details on programs and events scheduled to begin or take place after December 1, 2020. As always, we encourage residents to follow the District’s social media sites (Facebook, Twitter) and website (gepark.org/coronavirus) for the most current information. We also recommend residents sign up for the Glen Ellyn Park District’s email newsletter.

Tips to Slow the Spread of COVID-19

  • Wear a mask whenever outside your home or around people not from your household.
  • Watch your distance, staying at least 6 feet from people outside of your immediate household.
  • Wash your hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer often.
  • Avoid large gatherings, especially indoors.
  • Stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or if you have been in close contact with a person infected with COVID-19; consult with your healthcare provider for medical evaluation and testing, as needed.
  • Get your flu shot, to prevent illness from influenza and to prevent possible co-infection from influenza and COVID-19.

If rates in our area do not improve, stricter mitigations will be put in place. Please do your part and follow all guidelines as required by Restore Illinois. As always, your continued understanding, patience and support is valued and appreciated.
