Wisconsin being added to Chicago’s travel quarantine order

Mayor Lori LIghtfoot on Monday said the city will add Wisconsin to the list of states falling under a 14-day quarantine order.

That order that now applies to anyone arriving in Chicago from 19 states is not being strictly enforced. Compliance is voluntary.

Even so, Wisconsin’s presence on the list may make Chicagoans think twice before taking day trips to Lake Geneva or vacationing in Door County or the Wisconsin Dells.

The order has been “very successful from an education standpoint,” city health commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said last week.

In making the announcement, Lightfoot warned city officials are watching “all of our neighbors” very carefully, and that Indiana is not ready for quarantine list — yet.
