More people are getting tested for COVID-19 than ever before. The number of tests run has soared this month, hitting a pandemic-high of nearly 234 thousand on Saturday. Testing, social distancing, getting vaccinated and continuing to wear a mask is still vitally important as cases rise says Governor JB Pritzker.
“It is very important that people just take extra precautions, especially now, because yes our hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated people I might add.”
The latest daily totals include seven-thousand-930 new cases and 28 additional deaths. Over 36 hundred COVID patients are currently in the hospital.
