Chicago’s hospitals and health care settings are “far from being overwhelmed,” Arwady said in a statement Tuesday.
Centers for Disease Control officials will update that recommendation on Thursday evening. If Cook County triggers a warning of “high” risk, Chicago will also raise its risk level, but not take additional action, Arwady said.
While the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been rising in Chicago since March 8 — approximately a week after city and state officials lifted the mask mandate and vaccine requirement for some businesses — the number of people in Chicago hospitals with COVID-19 remain near all-time lows. Cook County’s COVID-19 hospital admission rate is 8, according to the CDC. If that hospitalization rate rises to 10 or greater, the risk level would rise to “high,” according to the CDC.
