As the new Cook County COVID vaccine mandate nears, Orland Park board members will vote on whether to allow businesses to enforce the mitigations.
However, the leaders of some municipalities said they will leave it up to each business to decide whether to follow the new mitigations.
It's not the first time the Mayor of Orland Park has defied a mandate issued for suburban Cook County. Throughout the pandemic the village board has consistently voted to leave it up to their businesses and customers to decide how they want to approach issues such as masking and indoor dining. The board is expected to do the same at a special meeting being held Tuesday night.
The board voted again, 6-0, to not enforce the proof of vaccination mandate issued by Cook County and instead leave it up to businesses.With 125 municipalities within its jurisdiction, The Cook County Department of Public Health said they rely on said governments for cooperation. But how many will?From one end of suburban Cook County to the other, municipalities are quietly deciding to go down similar routes as Orland Park.
"The good thing is for January we won't have to worry about it," said Chris Dungan, co-owner of Hey Nonny.
