Press Release: CITY OF COLLINSVILLE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date:May 13, 2020

COLLINSVILLE, IL - Considering the recent approval of a Resolution giving guidance to businesses for reopening by the Madison County Board of Health, the City of Collinsville will continue to follow the Governor’s Executive Orders. We are deeply sympathetic with those suffering the emotional, physical, social, and economic impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic; however, the City must place the safety of our residents, businesses, and visitors as our top priority during these unprecedented times.

It is the City’s recommendation that our businesses also comply with the Governor’s executive orders for the protection of their employees and customers throughout this public health crisis. If a business wishes to deviate from the executive orders, that business should consult with their legal counsel prior to taking any formal or informal action that would conflict with the executive orders, as that could create liability exposure to that business.
