Gov. JB Pritzker announced Friday that Phase 1A of the Illinois COVID-19 vaccination administration plan is on track to be substantially completed next week, with the entire state moving to Phase 1B on Monday, January 25.

Regional update: Currently, all 11 of the state’s health regions are under additional mitigation measures from the IDPH. As of Saturday, eight of 11 regions remain under Tier 3 mitigations. Regions 1, 2 and 5 moved to Tier 2 Friday, as they hit all three of the state’s metrics.

The three metrics needed for a region to advance to Tier 2 are:

1) A region’s test positivity below 12% for three straight days (as measured by a seven-day rolling average)

2) 20% or greater available staffed ICU and medical/surgical beds for three straight days (as measured by a three-day rolling average)

3) A decline in number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 for 7 out of 10 days (as measured on a seven-day average.)

Regional data from the IDPH remains on a three-day lag.
