EFFECTIVE MONDAY: To preserve the gains Chicago has made, we're issuing an Emergency Travel Order directing travelers entering or returning to Chicago from states experiencing a surge in new COVID-19 cases to quarantine for a period of 14 days. More info→ chicago.gov/coronavirus 
This order will apply to both residents returning from a designated state and travelers arriving from a designated state.
We'll be determining which states are covered by the order by looking at the latest public health data—particularly whether a state has a case rate growth of 15 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents per day. The most up-to-date list can be found at chicago.gov/coronavirus.
Currently, the order applies to Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
The order only applies to those who spent over 24 hours in a designated state. It also only applies to people inside Chicago—it does not apply to other areas of Illinois.
The required quarantine period is 14 days.
