Coronavirus Disease (COVID 19) in the Workplace
The Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce requests employers take precautions in the workplace in order to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). The Centers for Disease and Control Prevention (CDCP) has put together an interim guide which outlines important preventive measures employers can take to help prevent the spread of diseases, such as COVID-19. You can find the guide
here.
Some basic practices you should follow are:
- Frequent hand washing (at least 20 seconds per wash)
- Provide hand sanitizers with at least 60-90% alcohol (perhaps include in bathrooms and common areas)
- Lysol or similar wipes for cleaning of frequently touched spaces (doorknobs, desks, phones, etc.)
- Employees should stay home when sick
We are providing this information as a measure of prevention and ask that you check with the CDCP for updates for any late breaking news. We will continue to keep our businesses informed as we monitor the spread/containment of COVID-19.
We must all do our parts to prevent and prepare so that we can continue to provide a safe and healthy environment for all those who work, visit and live in our community.

- In particular, the following City communities had the lowest response rates in 2010, and organizations serving these communities are highly encouraged to apply: West Garfield Park, Washington Park, North Lawndale, Lower West Side, New City, Englewood, East Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, South Lawndale, West Englewood, Fuller Park, and South Chicago.
