Chicago Emergency Travel Order

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued an Emergency Travel Order effective July 6th, 2020 and modified March 26th, 2021. Under the new system, states will be placed in a two-tiered system – orange and yellow – based on the status of the outbreak in the states and how the data compares to the status in Chicago.

Anyone traveling from a state on the Orange list was directed to obtain a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Chicago or quarantine for a 10-day period.

Exceptions to the Order include personal travel for medical care. In compliance with this order, the Chicago Women’s Health Group will NOT require a mandatory 10-day quarantine period for any patients traveling from these states who require time-sensitive medical care.

The CDPH will update the list of states every Tuesday, click below. On June 1, 2021, for the first time since July 2020, no states were at the 15 cases per 100,000 residents threshold for the orange tier. Chicagoans are urged to get fully vaccinated before they travel.
