1,826 new cases, 123 additional deaths

Posted in:

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today announced 1,826 new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Illinois, including 123 additional deaths.

Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 36,934 cases, including 1,688 deaths, in 96 counties in Illinois. The age of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years.

…Adding… From Dr. Ezike…

Right now statewide medical surgical bed availability remains relatively flat, similar to ICU Bed Availability.

Although use has been increasing slowly, capacity has also been increasing, thereby maintaining relatively stable levels.

As of yesterday, 4877 individuals were reported to be hospitalized with COVID-19, of those 1268 patients were in the ICU and 766 patients were on ventilators.

  1. The number of positive cases and the number of deaths went up since yesterday. I expected 2 more weeks of stay at home, but not another 30 days. Yikes!

  2. Hard numbers to confront…sadly.

    No one is ever ready for the death of their loved ones…but not everyone knows it…yet.
