New COVID-19 Hospitalization Stops in Kane-DuPage Only Region

Wheaton, Illinois-Hospitalization and laboratory data from each of the 11 coronavirus mitigation areas created by Governor JB Pritzker show that the average number of new hospital admissions for suspected coronavirus infections increased in most of the states. It shows that it is continuing. However, in Area 8 including Kane and DuPage County, the average number of hospitalizations per day decreased and the proportion of tests that tested positive for virus also decreased.

The positive rate for the Kane-DuPage region dropped from 4.7% to 4.5% during the week leading up to August 4, the latest date for which data was available. At the same time, the average number of people admitted to local hospitals with COVID-19 symptoms dropped from 13 a day a week ago to 11 in two counties a day.

For the state as a whole, average positive rates have risen from 3.9 to 4.1 percent over the past week, although declines have been recorded in some of the highest rates. A positive rate of less than 5% indicates that adequate testing has been done Carried outAccording to Johns Hopkins University, Illinois officials said 8% threshold To trigger a new limit.

Thirteen Illinois counties have reached warning levels of coronavirus infections, the Illinois Public Health Department announced Friday. This news came out for the first time since May 24, when public health officials announced more than 2,000 confirmed new cases of COVID-19 on Friday.

Public health officials currently count for warning levels-Cath, Coles, Grandy, Iroquois, Jackson, Monroe, Perry, Sureen, St. Clair, Taswell, Union, Williamson and Winnebago — Social gatherings, businesses , Nursing homes, interstate travel.

Students returning to colleges and universities are also driving some of the growth, according to IDPH.

“Many students don’t cover their faces or socialize and are in large groups and bars.” Local public health officials work with school administrators to cancel summer events and festivals.

The 11 regional boundaries continue to the existing emergency services area outside the Chicago area, but in the city and suburbs, the Collars are grouped into pairs to match the boundaries of the local health department.

The Pritzker administration has set two standards that will impose new restrictions on one or more regions to stop the spread of the virus.

If the average regional positivity rate is 8% or more for 3 consecutive days, or if the positivity rate increases for 7 days and the hospital capacity is less than 20%, or the rounding roll increases, then within 7 days In some cases the average daily admission to a new hospital with a “COVID-like illness” — new mitigation measures will be imposed.

Last week, all regions saw an increase in positivity for at least 7 out of the last 10 days.

Only one of West Illinois’ Region 2 this week showed a continuous increase.

The region with the highest positive rate last week (region 4 in southern Illinois) showed a decrease of almost 1 percent last week.
