The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for
cases as a percent of total test from October 28 – November 3 is
8.5%. This is the number that IDPH has been consistently reporting
in its daily releases and is calculated using total cases over total
tests. Similar to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
IDPH has been using test positivity for regional mitigation metrics
on its website since mid-July.
Test positivity is calculated using the number of
COVID-19 positive tests over total tests. On October 29, 2020, IDPH
began reporting the statewide test positivity in its daily releases.
The preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity from October 28,
2020 – November 3, 2020 is 10.1%.
Case positivity and test positivity rate are both relevant and offer
insight into the bigger COVID-19 picture. Case positivity helps us
understand whether changes in the number of confirmed cases is due
to more testing or due to more infections. Whereas, test positivity
accounts for repeated testing and helps us understand how the virus
is spreading in the population over time.
*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly
report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported
in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an
electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as
additional information is gathered. For health questions about
COVID-19, call the hotline at 1-800-889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov.
