Cook County medical experts are expecting COVID-19 cases to climb in the next few days following the Christmas holiday.

CHICAGO -- With lines already out the door at testing centers,

"I was at a party where somebody had it. So I figured let me just go and get tested. Even though I've got my boosters and all that," said one man waiting in line.Jonathan Jackson said he's not noticing any symptoms, but likes to get tested every four to five days just to be safe. Doctors say it's a good idea as the Cook County Public Health Department is expecting cases to spike.

Rubin recommends getting tested three days before and three days after any family gatherings, even if you are vaccinated. If you have any slight symptom, like a cough or runny nose, she said to assume it's COVID and get tested to prove otherwise.
