Given the constantly changing circumstances regarding COVID-19, CATA has created an information page for CATA member dealers. This resourse page provides direct access to federal government guidance and other materials to help manage new-car and -truck dealerships. We will continue to update these materials as the situation evolves.
Gov. Prtizker has mandated that all of Illinois will enter Tier 3 coronavirus mitigations on Friday, Nov. 20 at 12:01 a.m. That means the following for Illinois retailers including auto dealers:
• Operate at no more than 25% occupancy. • Encourage delivery or curbside pickup options wherever possible. • When in-store shopping is necessary, promote efficient trips and consistent circulation.
It’s always good practice to contact your local law enforcement to make sure your plans meet their expectations for public safety.
