'States are removed from the Travel Advisory when they maintain a COVID case rate below 15 per 100,000 residents in two consecutive weeks,' the Chicago Department of Public Health said.
Chicago removed California from its COVID-19 travel advisory list on Tuesday, just a few days after the state became the first to drop its"high transmission" status."California and Puerto Rico were taken off the Travel Advisory this week, as their daily COVID case rates have been below 15 per 100,000 residents for two consecutive weeks," the Chicago Department of Public Health wrote in an update.
Last week, Chicago removed Connecticut and the District of Columbia from its travel advisory list, as they had below 15 cases per 100,000 residents. However, both were placed back on the city's list this week. "The states on the Travel Advisory might change from week to week, but one thing that does not change is the fact that if you want to travel freely without needing to get tested or self-quarantine for a week, get vaccinated," CDPH Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said in a press release sent to.
The travel advisory stated that any unvaccinated individual arriving in Chicago from a state on the list should"get tested with a viral test 3-5 days after travel AND stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days."
