A Message from Mayor Shapiro

For those of you celebrating, I wish you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas.

As we face another rise in Covid-19 cases, I urge you to please get fully vaccinated and get your booster shot. Doing so not only helps keep you from getting severely ill but it helps others from getting severely sick as well too. We need to stay diligent. We need to look out for our friends, neighbors and loved ones. Please also consider getting tested either at home or at a local testing facility before and after gathering with friends and family, especially during this holiday season. Rocket Testing recently opened a Covid testing facility in Deerfield Park Plaza next to the Illinois Secretary of State Facility. You can learn more here.

Let’s make our gift to each other a healthy, happy and safe holiday.

Non-Emergency Village Offices Closed Dec. 24 and 31

Celebrate the Holidays Safely

The holidays are an important time to connect with family and friends. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones against COVID-19. If you or a family member is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, it is best to stay home to avoid the potential of infecting others.

Find more ways to slow the spread of COVID-19 at holiday gatherings on the CDC's Holiday Celebrations and the Illinois Department of Public Health Holiday Season Guidance pages.
