 "These numbers are indicators of our growing
ability to manage capacity within the healthcare systems across
Illinois,” said Governor JB Pritzker. "We need to stay the course
for our efforts to remain effective. I will do what’s best to
safeguard the health and safety of Illinois’ residents."
The doubling rate is the rate of the number of days it takes for
COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, or deaths to double, a key metric
in determining any flattening in the curve. The shorter the doubling
rate, the steeper the curve and the faster the growth.
On March 22, Illinois had a case doubling rate of just over two
days, 2.02. And on April 1, the doubling rate was 3.61 days. As of,
April 12, the COVID-19 doubling rate is now at just over 8 days,
8.17.
As of April 13, 4,283 known COVID-19 patients and suspected COVID-19
patients were hospitalized. COVID-19 patients in an intensive care
unit (ICU) totaled 1,189, and 796 patients are on a ventilator.
Suspected COVID-19 patients are individuals under investigation and
assumed to have COVID-19 for the purpose of medical treatment.
As of April 13, Illinois has a total of 30,134 hospital beds, 2,987
of which are intensive care unit (ICU) beds. The state has 33
percent of all ICU beds available, 994 of 2,987, and 58 percent of
ventilators are available, 1,742 of 3,140.
Beginning today, the
Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) will begin posting bed
utilization data on their website. The data will be updated daily.
