Chicago is expected to move into a “high” community level of COVID-19 as early as Thursday night, officials said, as the city braces for an estimated 1.4 million people to visit Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of the summer season.

Eight other Illinois counties currently record high transmission levels, including Champaign County and neighboring Ford, as well as Rockford-area counties Winnebago, Stephenson and Boone.Chicago’s public health Commissioner Allison Arwady said the city is “pretty confident” that hospital admissions are the reason Cook County, including Chicago, is moving into the higher risk of the metric used by the CDC.Last week, the county was at 9.8 new admissions per 100,000, the database shows.

The Midwest region is now among those the ones with the highest COVID-19 cases in the country and Arwady said it was because the Midwest is doing more testing than the South and also because “we’re getting through this soft variant right now.” Arwady recommended that people avoid crowded indoor gatherings, get tested if they show any flu or COVID-like symptoms, and make a preventive plan of treatment with a primary doctor for immunocompromised people.
