for a total of three confirmed cases in Ford County. The individual is a female in her 60’s. Public health officials are
investigating and contacting all individuals who may have had exposure to the individual that tested positive for COVID-19.
Federal privacy restrictions prohibit the release of any further information.
FCPHD continues to encourage all residents to conduct preventive measures, practice social distancing, and follow Gov.
Pritzker’s Stay at Home Executive Order through April 30, 2020. COVID-19 appears to spread from person-to-person mainly
with close contact (less than 6 feet), but may also be spread by a surface that has the virus and then touching one’s mouth,
nose, or possibly one’s eyes. Illinois Department of Public Health states that the spread is through respiratory droplets
produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
FCPHD reminds everyone to do their part to help stop the spread of this virus by following the Stay at Home Order, practicing
social distancing, and continuing preventive measures. Even though Ford County has three confirmed cases, “Please assume
that COVID-19 is everywhere in our community,” stated Lana Sample, Public Health Administrator.
As a reminder, preventive measures that you can take are:
• Wash hands with soap for at least 20 seconds
• Clean frequently touched surfaces
• Cover your cough and sneezes with a tissue, dispose and wash hands
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
• Wear a cloth face covering in public settings.
• Make sure to stay 6-10 feet away from others when in public
If you have symptoms, please follow these guidelines:
• Stay home except to get medical care. Call ahead before visiting your doctor’s office.
• Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home. Stay in a specific room and use a separate bathroom, if
available.
• Avoid sharing personal household items
• If available, wear a facemask when you are around other people
• Monitor your symptoms. Call your health care provider if you have:
- Fever, cough, trouble breathing, or other flu-like symptoms that are not better or are worsening after 24-48
hours.
- Mild symptoms and are an older adult or have any of the chronic health conditions (cancer,
immunosuppression, heart, lung, or kidney disease, and diabetes)

Eastern Illinois Foodbank Announces "Foodmobile" Food Giveaway in Ridge Farm, IL

Contact: Molly Delaney, Eastern Illinois Foodbank, 217-328-3663

 

When: 05/02/2020 from 10 – 11:30am

 

Where: Ridge Farm Fire Department, 16 Woodyard Ave, Ridge Farm, IL

 

*This foodmobile is still scheduled as planned. Eastern Illinois Foodbank is adhering to CDC guidelines and if necessary, location and date may be subject to change*

 

Ridge Farm, IL –  Eastern Illinois Foodbank is distributing a truckload of food to area families struggling with food insecurity.  The distribution will be held at Ridge Farm Fire Department (16 Woodyard Ave) in Ridge Farm, Illinois on 05/02/2020 from 10 – 11:30am.  All Vermilion County residents who meet income eligibility criteria are welcome (see below).  Those attending are asked to bring boxes or bags to transport food. 

 

The distribution is part of the Foodbank’s Foodmobile Program, a system of mobile food pantries designed to help bring nutritious food to areas of chronic or extreme need. Through the program, local companies and organizations are invited to contribute toward a one-day distribution of food and optionally participate in the distribution process. The cost to partner with the Foodbank on a Foodmobile distribution is $3,000.

 

The Foodmobile distribution comes at a critical moment for area residents. Data released by Feeding America, the nation’s network of food banks, shows that a staggering 14% of people in eastern Illinois are considered food insecure, which means they sometimes lack adequate access to food. More shockingly, nearly 20% of children are food insecure. (http://feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/hunger-studies/map-the-meal-gap.aspx)

 

All eligible residents of Vermilion County who are in need of food and grocery product are welcome to attend the Foodmobile distribution. To be eligible, a household must have an income at or below 185% of the federal poverty level, or approximately $3,793 per month for a family of four. Other area Foodmobile distributions can be found by visiting the Foodbank’s website at www.eifoodbank.org and clicking “find help.”
