Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 395,458
cases, including 9,675 deaths, in 102 counties in Illinois. The age
of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years.
Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported 83,056
specimens for a total 7,542,098. As of last night, 3,030 people in
Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with COVID-19. Of
those, 643 patients were in the ICU and 269 patients with COVID-19
were on ventilators.
The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for
cases as a percent of total test from October 22 – October 28 is
6.9%. 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. Beginning
October 29, 2020, IDPH is reporting the statewide test positivity in
its daily releases. The preliminary seven-day statewide test
positivity from October 22, 2020 – October 28, 2020 is 8.2%.
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
