Health officials in Illinois and Missouri are trying to track down people who came in close contact with a St. Louis-area woman who tested positive for the coronavirus after flying into O’Hare International Airport, staying with a friend here, then taking an Amtrak train to her home last week.
The woman, in her 20s, flew into O’Hare on Monday and took an Amtrak train to St. Louis on Wednesday, according to Missouri and St. Louis County officials. Officials did not say where she stayed in the Chicago area, or how she got to Union Station to board the Amtrak 303 train.

Edwards declined to release more information about the patient in a press conference later Monday afternoon.
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, however, said the patient visited a Jefferson Parish emergency room for pneumonia-like symptoms. That patient remained hospitalized for several days as their symptoms worsened before the presumptive positive test result was returned.
The case is not believed to be associated with any travel, Cantrell said.
