Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 327,605 cases, including
9,074 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 7 October 13 is 4.6%.

Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported
52,669 specimens for a total of 6,463,923. As of last night, 1,974
people in Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with
COVID-19. Of those, 390 patients were in the ICU and 153 patients
with COVID-19 were on ventilators.
Beginning today, IDPH is adjusting how data for
Region 6, east central Illinois, is reported to most accurately
capture spread across the region. Champaign County and its data will
continue to be included in Region 6, but University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign saliva testing will be broken out separately. This
will allow us to better identify testing needs and trends in the
region.
Starting tomorrow, IDPH will begin 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.
