 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.

Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 331,620
cases, including 9,127 deaths, in 102 counties in Illinois. The age
of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years. The
preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for cases as a percent of
total test from October 9 October 15 is 4.9%. Within the past 24
hours, laboratories have reported 67,086 specimens for a total of
6,531,009. As of last night, 1,932 people in Illinois were reported
to be in the hospital with COVID-19. Of those, 388 patients were in
the ICU and 147 patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators.
Starting today, 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.
