Chicago On Track to Enter Phase 4 of Reopening

Chicago is on track to transition to phase four of the “Protecting Chicago” reopening framework on Friday, June 26. Along with indoor seating in restaurants and bars, phase four will allow reopening of museums and zoos, performance venues and summer camps/youth activities.

“The data continue to show that we’re making progress and we’ll be ready to move into phase four later this week,” said Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady. “However, we still have a lot of COVID-19 cases here in Chicago; we’re just now moving from a high-risk to a medium-high-risk city for COVID-19 spread, based on our numbers, and we need to move ahead cautiously.”

Phase four will also include adjustments to other industries that have previously reopened. To inform businesses of the new guidelines for phase four, the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) will hold a series of educational webinars this week.
