SPRINGFIELD — Suburban Cook County moved into more relaxed COVID-19 restrictions, leaving Kane, DuPage, Lake and McHenry counties among the state’s few regions with COVID-19 Tier 1 and Tier 2 restrictions.

Region 8, which covers Kane and DuPage counties, and Region 9, which covers Lake and McHenry counties, have not yet seen three straight days below 6.5% but will likely achieve that metric by Wednesday, the state reported. Under Tier 1 restrictions, indoor dining and bar service is allowed in a limited capacity.

Regions 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 have all entered Phase 4, meaning indoor dining and competitive high school sports can resume.

In order to move from Tier 1 to Phase 4, regions must have positivity rates at 6.5% or below for three days as well as intensive care unit bed availability at 20% for three consecutive days, and no sustained increase in COVID hospitalizations.

Movement from Tier 2 to Tier 1 requires positivity rates between 6.5% and 8% for three days, and the same ICU bed and hospitalization requirements as Tier 1 to Phase 4.

Region 8, which covers Kane and DuPage counties, and Region 9, which covers Lake and McHenry counties, have not yet seen three straight days below 6.5% but will likely achieve that metric by Wednesday, the state reported.
