The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for
cases as a percent of total test from October 23 – October 29 is
7.3%. 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 23, 2020 – October 29, 2020 is 8.5%.
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.

Adams, Alexander, Bond, Boone, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Coles,
Crawford, Cumberland, DeKalb, Douglas, DuPage, Effingham, Ford,
