OSHKOSH – Winnebago County residents will not be required to wear a mask indoors if the statewide mandate is overturned after the County Board effectively rejected the measure at least for now during a six-hour meeting Tuesday.
Board members voted 26-4 to indefinitely postpone the order to require everyone 5 or older to wear a face covering indoors if they re not in a private home or if they re with another person not part of their household.
The county health officer may bring the order back to the County Board for consideration in the future. If brought back, the order would remain advisory until the board votes on it.
ROCKFORD Sunil Puri s phone rang a little after 10 a.m. on a Thursday. On the other end was Mayor Tom McNamara, who was scrambling to find a site for the Illinois National Guard to mobilize a mass vaccination center and figured the developer could offer advice, if not property.
The city had spent the past few days searching for suitable locations, but on that Thursday morning, it learned the owners of the two sites it had in mind planned to charge $15,000 and $25,000 per month for a lease. That was just not doable, McNamara said.
About 24 hours after calling Puri on Feb. 18, the city had a lease for its mass vaccination site. The fastest time to complete a lease his company had ever done, Puri said. But this lease would only cost $1.
