CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- For the first time since Chicago began issuing its emergency travel in July last year, no states now require a quarantine, full vaccination, or a negative COVID test for anyone arriving in Chicago.
Due to improving conditions around the country, no states are above the 15 cases per 100,000 residents per day threshold, the Chicago Department of Public Health said Tuesday.
Seven states that were in the orange tier in the previous travel order have moved to the yellow tier. Those states are Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, West Virginia and Washington.
Only four are above 10 cases a day per 100,000 residents: Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, and West Virginia.
No midwest states are above 7.9 cases per day, per 100,000 residents, the health department said.
