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 dph.sick@illinois.gov
