The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for
cases as a percent of total test from July 29 – August 4 is 3.9%. As
of last night, 1,552 people in Illinois were reported to be in the
hospital with COVID-19. Of those, 368 patients were in the ICU and
129 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. 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.
