Mount Prospect Mayor Arlene Juracek updated the village board this week on the village’s COVID-19 statistics.
She said Mount Prospect as of Tuesday had 142 diagnosed cases, 100 more than two weeks ago, and one fatality, a 57-year-old man.
“It’s very unfortunate to have any deaths. On the other hand, these statistics do say that we do have some effective social distancing going on,” she said.
She said she has seen good compliance when visiting grocery stores, the gas station and the post office. A few residents, however, have pointed out that people are depositing gloves in parking lots.
“This is disgusting. I blame the people who are doing it more than I blame the stores,” she said.
Juracek said the village staff has alerted stores about their concerns. She advised residents to take gloves off when they get to their cars and put them in a bag.
