Here’s where each health region in northern Illinois stands as of Saturday for new cases and vaccine administration

The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 2,092 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 5 additional deaths Saturday.

The seven-day rolling average of Illinois’ positivity rate decreased to 2.9%. The state received the results of 84,990 COVID-19 tests in the 24 hours leading up to Friday afternoon for a total of 17,106,909 tests done by the beginning of the pandemic.

As of the time this story was published, 399,166 people in Illinois have been fully vaccinated, or 3.13% of the population. Illinois has a population of 12,741,080 people.

There can be as much as a 72-hour delay in reporting from healthcare providers on vaccines administered.

Regional update: Currently, all 11 of the state’s health regions are in Phase 4 of the state’s reopening plan.

Phase 5 in Illinois – all sectors of the economy reopen with businesses, schools, and recreation resuming normal operations with new safety guidance and procedures – comes when “either a vaccine is developed to prevent additional spread of COVID-19, a treatment option is readily available that ensures health care capacity is no longer a concern, or there are no new cases over a sustained period,” according to the state’s Restore Illinois plan.

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