Air passengers navigate busy holiday travel crowds in Terminal 1 at O'Hare International Airport on Monday.On Tuesday, the Chicago Department of Public Health added Louisiana, South Carolina and the Virgin Islands back onto its advisory, leaving just Montana and Guam as the only places not currently listed.
The advisory asks that unvaccinated people traveling to Chicago from listed states or territories get tested for COVID-19 before and after the trip and quarantine upon arrival. The quarantine and testing recommendations do not apply to fully vaccinated domestic travelers. The CDC recommends that people should not travel if they are not fully vaccinated, and, regardless of vaccine status, should stay home if they have recovered from COVID-19 within the past 90 days, have tested positive for COVID-19 and have not yet ended isolation, or are awaiting results of COVID-19 tests.
Fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue and new loss of taste or smell are some of the more common signs reported, according to the CDC. It may take between two days and two weeks for symptoms to appear.
