Dear Office Tenants:
Provided the indoor mask requirement for the State of Illinois is lifted on February 28th, face coverings will no longer be required in the common areas of our commercial properties, but still recommended. Many tenants may choose to have their own mask requirements and other mitigations per their workplace guidance and we need to be respectful of all tenants, their employees and visitors.
Per the State of Illinois website:
“We are now seeing the fastest rate of decline in our COVID-19 hospitalization metrics since the pandemic began. If these trends continue — and we expect them to —then on Monday, February 28th, we will lift the indoor mask requirement for the State of Illinois,” … “I want to be clear: Many local jurisdictions, businesses and organizations have their own mask requirements and other mitigations that must be respected,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “While masks will no longer be required in most indoor locations beginning February 28, they are still recommended.”… “Masks offer a layer of protection and for people who have an underlying health condition or who are around those who do, you may choose to continue wearing a mask. Similarly, if you find yourself in a crowded, indoor setting, a mask can still help protect you. We will continue to recommend masks,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike.
We sincerely appreciate your compliance with our guidelines throughout the Pandemic as the health and safety of our tenants, visitors and employees continues to be our highest priority.
