This week Chester Mental Health Center in Randolph
County reported 27 staff and 5 residents with newly confirmed cases
of COVID-19. Shapiro Developmental in Kankakee County reported 1
resident and 6 staff of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19. Full
infection control measures are in operation at these facilities for
both residents and staff.
Following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, IDPH is now reporting 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 deaths
previously reported has changed, therefore, today’s numbers have
been adjusted. For health questions about COVID-19, call the hotline
at 1-800-889-3931 or email
