Service Information

From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, President Preckwinkle and all of Cook County Government have worked tirelessly to protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of the County’s 5.2 million residents. This Cook County COVID-19 Response Plan: From Rapid Response to Equitable Recovery documents our initial, rapid response to the COVID-19 crisis and outlines our priorities for an equitable recovery through 2022. 

The plan is grounded in our core values of equity, engagement, and excellence, and builds from the six policy priorities established in the  Policy Roadmap: Five-Year Strategic Plan for Offices Under the President.

The needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic evolve quickly, so we are committed to updating and revising this plan for an equitable recovery as new information becomes available. Be sure to check back for updates to our approach.

The full document and overview are available for download.
