Travel Restrictions Updated The Cook County Department of Public Health has recently modified their travel restrictions. Several states in the midwest no longer require a quarantine period or negative Covid test upon your return to Cook County. Here is a link to the list. Travel Restriction List of States If you plan to travel for spring break or at any other time, please be mindful of which states still have high Covid rates of infection. If you travel to an Orange state, we will expect that your student will quarantine for 10 days upon return or receive a negative result from a Covid test in accordance with the CDPH guidance listed here. Travel Order FAQ  If you have questions about your situation, please contact the school office. The list will be updated on March 9, so the list of restricted states could change at that point.
