Expiration of Statewide Health Order and New Package Goods Operating Hours

The statewide COVID-19 emergency health order expired Saturday, June 26th. For Chicago businesses, this means that all COVID-19 regulations are lifted effective June 26th. While most regulations were lifted when the City entered Phase 5 on June 11th, this 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 today, please be advised of the new, permanent hours of operation for establishments with a Package Goods License. Effective June 26th, when the 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 12:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays, except that a supermarket may commence the sale of package goods at 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Please see below for an industry notice on the new hours of operation for Package Goods Licensees.
