Nebraska, Texas moved up Chicago’s emergency travel order as 9 states bumped down to lighter restrictions

Travelers heading to Chicago from Nebraska and Texas will be subject to additional coronavirus mitigations under this week’s update of the city’s emergency travel order, which also removed restrictions from nine states. Starting Friday, Nebraska and Texas will move up from the city’s “yellow” tier to the “orange” one, according to a Tuesday Chicago Department of Public Health press release. Travelers coming from the latter tier, which will include 24 states and Washington, must quarantine for 10 days or test negative for coronavirus no more than 72 hours before arriving. People can avoid either requirement if they have been fully vaccinated at least two weeks earlier.
