Facts Related to Emergency: In late 2019, a new and significant outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China. COVID-19 is a novel severe acute respiratory illness that can spread among people through respiratory transmissions and present with symptoms similar to those of influenza. There is no vaccine currently available for COVID-19. Certain populations are at higher risk of experiencing more severe illness as a result of COVID-19, including older adults and people who have serious chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease. The City of Canton is continuing its efforts to prepare for any eventuality given that this is a novel illness and given the known health risks it poses for the elderly and those with serious chronic medical conditions. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19.a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020; the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services declared that COVID-19 presents a public health emergency on January 27, 2020; and, the Governor of the State of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, initially proclaimed COVID-19 a Disaster on March 9, 2020, and he has re -proclaimed that a disaster exists within the State of Illinois as recent as November 13, 2020. In response to the COVID-19 outbreaks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") has deemed it necessary to prohibit or restrict non-essential travel to or from those countries, and federal, state, and local officials have continued to impose restrictions, such as "stay at home" orders, in order to reduce the spread of the COVID-19. Page 1 of 2 As of November 17, 2020 the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) indicated 597,849 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 10,875 deaths (see www.dph.illinois.gov/covidl9). As of November 17, 2020, there have been 1,080 positive (confirmed) cases in Fulton County, according to the IDPH. Nature of Emergency: The COVID-19 outbreak is a "disaster" and "public health emergency" as defined under 20 ILCS 3305/4, as amended. There is an imminent threat that outbreak of COVID-19 may spread within the corporate limits of the City of Canton, resulting in or threatening the death or injury of persons to such an extent that extraordinary measures must be taken to protect the public health, safety and welfare. During the existence of the Local State of Emergency declared hereunder, the Mayor shall execute such authority and executive orders as provided under the Illinois Municipal Code, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, City of Canton Ordinance No. 4182 (as amended), and any other applicable city ordinances.

Facts Related to Emergency: In late 2019, a new and significant outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China. COVID-19 is a novel severe acute respiratory illness that can spread among people through respiratory transmissions and present with symptoms similar to those of influenza. There is no vaccine currently available for COVID-19. Certain populations are at higher risk of experiencing more severe illness as a result of COVID-19, including older adults and people who have serious chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease. The City of Canton is continuing its efforts to prepare for any eventuality given that this is a novel illness and given the known health risks it poses for the elderly and those with serious chronic medical conditions. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020; the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services declared that COVID-19 presents a public health emergency on January 27, 2020; and, the Governor of the State of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, initially proclaimed COVID-19 a Disaster on March 9, 2020, and he has re -proclaimed that a disaster exists within the State of Illinois as recent as December 11, 2020. Page 1 of 2 In response to the COVID-19 outbreaks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") has deemed it necessary to prohibit or restrict non-essential travel to or from those countries, and federal, state, and local officials have continued to impose restrictions, such as "stay at home" orders, in order to reduce the spread of the COVID-19. As of January 5, 2021, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) indicated 991,719 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 16,959 deaths (see www.dph.illinois.gov/covidl9). As of January 5, 2021, there have been 2,416 positive (confirmed) cases in Fulton County, according to the IDPH. Nature of Emergency: The COVID-19 outbreak is a "disaster" and "public health emergency" as defined under 20 ILCS 3305/4, as amended. There is an imminent threat that outbreak of COVID-19 may spread within the corporate limits of the City of Canton, resulting in or threatening the death or injury of persons to such an extent that extraordinary measures must be taken to protect the public health, safety and welfare. During the existence of the Local State of Emergency declared hereunder, the Mayor shall execute such authority and executive orders as provided under the Illinois Municipal Code, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, City of Canton Ordinance No. 4182 (as amended), and any other applicable city ordinances or state and/or federal law.

The City of Canton is continuing its efforts to prepare for any eventuality given that this is a novel illness and given the known health risks it poses for the elderly and those with serious chronic medical conditions.

During the existence of the Local State of Emergency declared hereunder, the Mayor shall execute such authority and executive orders as provided under the Illinois Municipal Code, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, City of Canton Ordinance No. 4182 (as amended), and any other applicable city ordinances or state and/or federal law.

Facts Related to Emergency: The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020, and the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services declared that COVID-19 presents a public health emergency on January 27, 2020. On March 11, 2020, the WIIO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a novel severe acute respiratory illness that can spread among people through respiratory transmissions and present with symptoms similar to those of influenza. The burden on residents, healthcare providers, first responders, and governments throughout the State of Illinois has been unprecedented. Certain populations are at higher risk of experiencing more severe illness as a result of COVID-19, including older adults and people who have serious chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease. Despite efforts to contain COVID-19, the virus has continued to spread rapidly, resulting in the need for federal, state, and local governments to take significant steps. COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing COVID-19 disease, especially severe illness and death,but a proportion of the population remains unvaccinated and some residents, including younger children, cannot yet receive the vaccine. The City of Canton is continuing its efforts to prepare for any eventuality given that this is a novel illness and given the known health risks it poses for the young, elderly and those with serious chronic medical conditions. The Governor of the State of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, initially proclaimed COVID-19 a Disaster on March 9,2020, and he has re-proclaimed that a disaster exists within the State of Illinois as recent as September 17,2021. The recitals set forth in and supporting the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation, dated September 17, 2021, are frilly restated and incorporated herein. As of September 28, 2021, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) indicated 1,621,175 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 24,892 deaths (see www.dph.illinois.gov/covid19) in the State of Illinois. As of September 28, 2021 there have been 4,960 positive (confirmed) cases and 70 deaths in Fulton County, according to the IDPH. As of September 27,2021,Fulton County has 125 new cases in the past seven (7) days with a positivity rate of 3.71% and a case rate of 364.01 per 100,000.

Facts Related to Emergency: The World Health Organization(WHO) declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020, and the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services declared that COVID-19 presents a public health emergency on January 27, 2020. On March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a novel severe acute respiratory illness that can spread among people through respiratory transmissions and present with symptoms similar to those of influenza. The burden on residents, healthcare providers, first responders, and governments throughout the State of Illinois has been unprecedented. Certain populations are at higher risk of experiencing more severe illness as a result of COVID-19, including older adults and people who have serious chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease. Despite efforts to contain COVID-19, the virus has continued to spread rapidly, resulting in the need for federal, state, and local governments to take significant steps. COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing COVID-19 disease,especially severe illness and death,but a proportion of the population remains unvaccinated and some residents, including younger children, cannot yet receive the vaccine. The City of Canton is continuing its efforts to prepare for any eventuality given that this is a novel illness and given the known health risks it poses for the young, elderly and those with serious chronic medical conditions. The Governor of the State of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, initially proclaimed COVID-19 a Disaster on March 9,2020,and he has re-proclaimed that a disaster exists within the State of Illinois as recent as November 12,2021.
