The move was triggered by an increase in the number of hospitalizations in Chicago for seven consecutive days and an increase in the positive rate for eight consecutive days.Since the end of September in Chicago, the number of non-ICU patients has increased by 9%, and since October 72, the number of ICU patients has increased by 10%.

The Illinois Department of Public Health said it will continue to track Chicago's indicators and if the number drops, restrictions can be relaxed and dine-in reopened.The director of the Chicago Department of Public Health stated that she hopes that one month from now, there will be a considerable decline.
