The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) did not add or remove any states from its weekly COVID-19 Travel Advisory on Sept. 28.
The numbers of states and territories remain at 48 and three, respectively.
California and Puerto Rico maintained their daily COVID case rates of under 15 per 100,000 residents and they remain the only two states and territories that are not on the advisory. Connecticut's daily case rate is under 10 this week. If the Constitution State maintains a sub-15.0 daily case rate, it can come off the travel advisory next week. No other states are eligible to come off the advisory next week.
The states and territories with the highest daily COVID case rates are the same as last week: Alaska (112.1 people per 100,000 residents), West Virginia (93.1), and Guam (75.5).
