New cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in Illinois. The latest daily total is nearly 38-hundred new cases of infection. That’s the highest one day total since January 29th. Additionally, about 17-hundred COVID patients are currently in the hospital says Governor JB Pritzker.
“The number of hospitalizations is increasing. The number of cases of people going into ICU beds is increasing and that’s of great concern to us. We want to make sure that before we reopen any further in the state that we get that under control.”
The seven day rolling positivity rate has now risen to four point one percent. About 19 and a half percent of adult Illinoisans have been fully vaccinated.
