Expected Development

UNITED STATES CHICAGO, IL

STABLE INCREASE

Due to the continual COVID-19 developments in the USA, new countrywide restrictions are unlikely
to be introduced, however, current restrictions are expected to remain in place. Cook County, where
Chicago is located, is one of the counties in the USA with the highest number of cases. Due to the
worsening COVID-19 development in Chicago, the introduction of new restrictions is likely. Current
restrictions will probably remain in place.
