With the return of festivals, the reopening of restaurants, and a pause on travel restrictions, the last couple months have felt more like normal in Chicago. But on Tuesday, city officials announced travelers from Arkansas or Missouri must test negative for COVID-19 or quarantine for 10 days before coming to Chicago. The new travel advisory plus concerns over the delta variant and vaccine disparities are prompting warnings from the city’s public health officials that the pandemic isn’t over. WTTW Reporter Heather Cherone has been covering the city’s COVID-19 response since the beginning, and she helps us make sense of these new shifts.
