The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 11,028 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 166 additional deaths Saturday.
Sixty-six of the deaths occurred Friday, and IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said during Friday's news conference that a delay in death data reporting Friday would result in additional deaths being reported Saturday.
According to the IDPH, the rolling seven-day positivity rate average in the state is now 12.6%.
Illinois now has seen 562,985 total cases of the virus, and 10,670 people have died. The state has conducted a total of 8,986,010 tests since the start of the pandemic.
As of late Friday, Illinois had 5,415 COVID-19 patients in the hospital, one again setting a state record. Of those, 1,018 COVID-19 patients were in intensive care units and 499 patients were on ventilators.
Regional update:
Additional restrictions, meant to stem the spread of COVID-19, can be placed on any of the state's 11 health regions if the region sustains an increase in its average positivity rate for seven days out of a 10-day period.
A region may also become more restrictive if there is a seven-day increase in hospital admissions for COVID-19-related illness or a reduction in hospital medical/surgical beds or ICU capacity below 20%. If a region reports three consecutive days with greater than an 8% average positivity rate, additional infection mitigation will be considered through a tiered system of restriction guidelines offered by the IDPH.
Currently, all eleven of the state's health regions are under additional mitigation measures from the IDPH.
