 “In a pandemic that has contained far too many
tragic milestones, today’s marking of one million cases of COVID-19
diagnosed in Illinois deserves particular recognition,” said
Governor JB Pritzker. “As this disease continues to wreak havoc on
our nation – with the United States setting another record for the
most COVID-19 deaths in a day just yesterday – it is critical that
we take extra caution today and in the months ahead to reduce the
spread, bring down hospitalization rates, and save lives. Now that
vaccine distribution has begun, we can see the light at the end of
this difficult time – let’s do everything we can to ensure all of
our neighbors are able to be there as we cross that finish line,
healthy as well. With that goal in mind, I encourage all Illinoisans
to choose to receive the protections of the COVID-19 vaccine when
it’s your turn in line.”
“As the vaccine rolls out, our hope, and goal, is that the number of
new cases we see each day will decrease,” said IDPH Director Dr.
Ngozi Ezike. “Reporting more than one million COVID-19 cases in
Illinois seemed like an unlikely number at the beginning of the
pandemic, and we’ve now all seen how devastating this disease can
be. I urge everyone to continue to wear their mask, avoid social
gatherings, and get vaccinated when it’s your turn.”

*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
