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 1,922 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 42 additional deaths Saturday.

The seven-day rolling average of Illinois’ positivity rate decreased to 2.8%. The state received the results of 73,212 COVID-19 tests in the 24 hours leading up to Friday afternoon for a total of 17,547,531 tests done by the beginning of the pandemic.

Illinois has seen 1,172,824 total cases of the virus, and 20,234 people have died.

As of late Friday, Illinois had 1,551 COVID-19 patients in the hospital. Of those, 351 were in intensive care units, and 171 were on ventilators.

Vaccine update: As of Friday, IDPH reported a total of 2,702,175 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been distributed statewide, with 2,138,519 vaccines administered.

As of the time this story was published, 590,904 people in Illinois have been fully vaccinated, or 4.25% 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.
