With the vibe of a suburb, Oak Lawn’s Black population has been hit harder than many predominately Black cities outside Chicago, including Country Club Hills, Chicago Heights and South Holland.
On Friday, June 26, Chicago and the state were scheduled to enter Phase 4 with some Black restaurants planning to reopen for in-room dining, including Daley’s in Woodlawn, Norm’s Bistro and Chicago Chicken and Waffles in Bronzeville.
Meanwhile on June 22, the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County reported that an employee tested positive after taking a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) antibody blood test.
Since the individual who received a positive antibody test result believes that he/she was COVID-19 positive months ago and the Clerk’s Office is unable to confirm when he/she was COVID-19 positive, MB Real Estate will perform its regular cleaning and not a deep cleaning of the area where the employee worked.
To date, 26 employees of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County have tested positive for coronavirus, and four (4) employees have received positive antibody test results after taking coronavirus antibodies blood tests.
