The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) did not add or remove any states or territories from its COVID-19 travel advisory on Jan. 25.
For the fourth consecutive week, every U.S. state and four territories are on the advisory.
Despite daily case rates continuing to level off or falling in much of the nation, no states will come off the advisory for at least two more weeks. Daily COVID-19 case rates must be below 15 per 100,000 residents for two consecutive weeks for a state to be removed from the advisory. No states or territories are below 15 cases per 100,000 residents this week.
The U.S. average daily case rate per 100,000 residents is 200 (211.2 last week). Illinois' daily case rate currently is 207.1 (145.8 last week, 227.1 two weeks ago). Chicago's daily case rate is 70.9 (107.3 last week, 177.1 two weeks ago).
The state with the highest daily case rate per 100,000 residents364.6is Wisconsin. Maine has the lowest daily case rate (64.2). |
