 On September 4, 2020, IDPH reported 5,368 new
cases of COVID-19 after a slowdown in data processing delayed
reporting of some additional aggregate numbers. Cases not reported
in the previous several days were included in the September 4, 2020
total. The slowdown did not affect the reporting of positive or
negative results to individuals in any way.

Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported
87,759 specimens for a total of 6,618,768. As of last night, 2,016
people in Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with
COVID-19. Of those, 410 patients were in the ICU and 151 patients
with COVID-19 were on ventilators.
IDPH is including both molecular and antigen tests in the number of
statewide total test performed in Illinois. Previously, due to the
limited number of antigen tests and limited information about
antigen test accuracy, antigen tests were not included in the total
number (which comprised less than 1% of total tests performed).
Antigen tests, like BinaxNOW, are now becoming more readily
available, therefore, IDPH will include both molecular and antigen
tests in its total number of tests starting October 15, 2020.
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.
