We See You, Champaign County - Celebrating Safe Practices
Masks, sanitizer, social distancing: it's all a part of our daily lives. Dealing with COVID-19 as a community has not been easy, but Champaign County is doing it right. We're supporting local. We're keeping our community safe by masking and socially distancing. You can see it when you go out to pick up food from a restaurant or shop safely at our local shops. Plus, the numbers show it too.
News-Gazette's tracking of IDPH and county reports for COVID-19 consistently place Champaign County's region, Region 6, at the lowest rate of COVID-19 positive cases in the state. That's not on accident. We're working hard as a community to keep businesses open and the local economy active. Thanks to efforts like Champaign County Safe, businesses are working harder than ever to keep employees and customers safe by pledging to be diligent in their sanitization and cleaning efforts.

As we continue into the end of summer, we're grateful for the efforts at the University of Illinois to organize a safe Fall semester for new and returning Illini students. Our community is serious about masking, distancing, and supporting local.
So, what keeps Champaign County safe? You do.

Our community is taking COVID-19 seriously and it shows. Let's not let up or grow complacent. Keep masking. Keep distancing. Keep supporting local.
