Chicago Employers – Know Your Responsibilities under Chicago’s Travel Advisory. On the eve of the July 4 holiday, the Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner issued an emergency travel order directing travelers returning from states experiencing a surge in new COVID-19 cases to quarantine for 14 days upon return to the city – even if they have a negative COVID-19 test.
