ORLAND PARK – In response to Governor Pritzker's newest COVID restaurant and bar shutdowns in Cook County (effective Wednesday at 12:01 am), Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau released a video message to Orland Park citizens.

Pekau goes on to cite Illinois Department of Public Health stats to raise questions about the Governor's plan – including citing DuPage County COVID stats that do not show DuPage restaurants as a key source of COVID transmission.
