Judge orders McHenry County Department of Health to disclose names of coronavirus patients to emergency dispatchers

A judge has ordered that the McHenry County Department of Health divulge the names of coronavirus patients to emergency dispatchers so police know who has the virus when they respond to emergency calls, prosecutors said.

State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally’s office filed a lawsuit last week on behalf of the sheriff. After the filing, police departments from Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, the city of McHenry, and Woodstock joined the suit.

On Friday, McHenry County Judge Michael Chmiel entered a temporary restraining order mandating that the Health Department disclose to police the names of those actively infected with COVID-19.

Sheriff Bill Prim had asked the Health Department to provide the names and addresses of those infected to the county’s Emergency Telephone System Board, which oversees the dispatch of 911 calls.
