Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported
65,615 specimens for a total of 5,690,437. As of last night, 1,635
people in Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with
COVID-19. Of those, 359 patients were in the ICU and 149 patients
with COVID-19 were on ventilators.
Following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, IDPH is now reporting separately both confirmed and
probable cases and deaths on its website. Reporting probable cases
will help show the potential burden of COVID-19 illness and efficacy
of population-based non-pharmaceutical interventions. IDPH will
update these data once a week.
*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. Information for a death
previously reported has changed, therefore, todays numbers have
been adjusted. For health questions about COVID-19, call the hotline
at 1-800-889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov.
