			population-based non-pharmaceutical interventions. See CDC 
			definition of a probable case on its website. 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, today’s numbers have 
			been adjusted. For health questions about COVID-19, call the hotline
