CHICAGO (CBS)– Changes have been made to Chicago’s emergency travel order.
Wisconsin and Nebraska have been removed from Chicago’s quarantine list on Tuesday. Iowa and Kansas have been added to the list.
You must quarantine for 14 days when you return to Chicago from any of the states on the list.
The city will ticket those in violation of the travel restrictions. Tickets will range from between $100 and $500 with a $7,000 maximum. Wisconsin and Nebraska were added to the list on July 28.
Doctor Allison Arwady, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health said despite the travel order, numbers in Chicago are improving.
“We have not seen any increase in hospitalizations and ICU hospitalizations, in patients on ventilators that’s good news. It means that well we’ve been able to tolerate some of these increased cases, particularly among younger people. We’ve not seen a lot of spread at this point to people who are older people who have underlying conditions, who would be at high risk for hospitalization,” Arwady said.
The head of CDPH said the group with the highest number of cases continues to be with young people.
“They are still the group where we are seeing the most new cases. Early on in this outbreak, when we were really seeing those very bad numbers, we were seeing a lot of cases and the highest numbers in older Chicagoans people over 70 and even over 80,” Arwady said. “The fact that we’ve now flipped that is good news again in terms of those severe outcomes are protecting most vulnerable Chicagoans. We continue to have a major focus on outreach in that 18 to 29-year-old group we continue to keep a close eye on it.”
Arwady added that spread is mainly coming from small gatherings
