The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for
cases as a percent of total test from August 19 – August 25 is 4.0%.
As of last night, 1,573 people in Illinois were reported to be in
the hospital with COVID-19. Of those, 350 patients were in the ICU
and 132 patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators.
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. For health questions about
COVID-19, call the hotline at 1-800-889-3931 or email dph.sick@illinois.gov.
