Expiration of Emergency Health Order

Please be advised that the statewide COVID-19 emergency health order expires Saturday, June 26, 2021 . For Chicago businesses, this means that all COVID-19 regulations are lifted effective immediately. While most regulations were lifted when the City entered Phase 5 on June 11 earlier this month, the expiration of Illinois’ order means that the establishments with a Late Hour Liquor License will no longer need to have fully vaccinated customers only during late night operations.

Additionally, while COVID-19 hour restrictions for Package Goods Licensees expire, please be advised of the new, permanent hours of operation for establishments with a Package Goods License.

While COVID-19 hour restrictions are lifted, no establishment that holds a Package Goods License shall sell, permit to be sold or give away any alcoholic liquor between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Mondays through Saturdays and between the hours of 12AM and 11:00AM on Sundays, except that a supermarket may commence the sale of package goods at 8AM on Sundays. Please see below for an industry notice on the new hours of operation for Package Goods Licensees.
