All Chicago residents must comply with Governor Pritzker’s March 20 Stay at Home Executive Order. Everyone should stay home as much as possible, only leave home for essential tasks, and always practice social distancing and good hand hygiene. Everyone should self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and stay home if they’re sick. For more information, see How to Protect Yourself.

• Older adults and people with severe chronic conditions should take extra precautions because they are at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness. For more information, see CDC guidance for people who are at higher risk.
• Large or Extended Families - If your household includes people in these high-risk groups, then all family members should act as if they, themselves, are at higher risk. Follow these CDC tips and Guidance for Large or Extended Families Living in the Same Household to protect those who are most vulnerable in your household.
• Children - While children are not considered at high risk, they may have mild illness or not show symptoms, they can still spread the disease to others. It's important to follow CDC's recommendation for keeping children healthy while school's out.
• Sick Individuals – Under Chicago’s March 18 Public Health Order, everyone who is sick with COVID-19 symptoms must stay home and self-isolate. For more information, see What to Do if You’re Sick.
• Exposed Individuals – Individuals who have a sick household member or have been exposed to COVID-19 in the workplace or other public setting, must stay home and self-monitor for 14 days. See CDPH FAQ on what to do if you have been exposed.
• Critical Infrastructure Workers – Critical infrastructure workers who have been exposed to COVID-19 can continue work following potential exposure to COVID-19, as long as they don’t develop any COVID-19 symptoms. See CDPH Guidance for Critical Infrastructure Workers.
