 Following Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention guidance, beginning November 6, 2020 and going forward,
IDPH will report confirmed cases and probable cases combined. A
confirmed case is laboratory confirmed via molecular test. A
probable case meets clinical criteria AND is epidemiologically
linked, or has a positive antigen test. If a probable case is later
confirmed, the case will be deduplicated and will only be counted
once. Probable deaths and confirmed deaths will continue to be
reported separately.
Today’s additional deaths:

Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 465,540
cases, including 10,079 deaths, in 102 counties in Illinois. The age
of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years.
Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported 98,401
specimens for a total 8,215,129. As of last night, 4,090 people in
Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with COVID-19. Of
those, 786 patients were in the ICU and 339 patients with COVID-19
were on ventilators.
The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for cases as a
percent of total test from October 30 – November 5 is 9.6%. This is
the number that IDPH has been consistently reporting in its daily
releases and is calculated using total cases over total tests.
Similar to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, IDPH has
been using test positivity for regional mitigation metrics on its
website since mid-July. Test positivity is calculated using the
number of COVID-19 positive tests over total tests. On October 29,
2020, IDPH began reporting the statewide test positivity in its
daily releases. The preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity
from October 30, 2020 – November 5, 2020 is 11.1%.
Case positivity and test positivity rate are both relevant and offer
insight into the bigger COVID-19 picture. Case positivity helps us
understand whether changes in the number of confirmed cases is due
to more testing or due to more infections. Whereas, test positivity
accounts for repeated testing and helps us understand how the virus
is spreading in the population over time.
Seventy-five counties, plus the city of Chicago, are currently
reported at a warning level – Adams, Alexander, Bond, Boone, Bureau,
Calhoun, Carroll, Chicago, Christian, Clay, Clinton, Coles, Cook,
Crawford, Cumberland, DeKalb, Douglas, DuPage, Effingham, Franklin,

*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
