Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered. Information for a death previously reported has changed, therefore, today’s numbers have been adjusted.

There is a discrepancy on the number of deaths in McLean County. The state lists 13 deaths but the county has recorded 11. No new cases reported today for the county. Good news.

@Nearly Normal: Could having an elected politician being the county coroner be the cause of the discrepancy? I always felt it was odd that a coroner would be an elected position.

Is it 44 percent IN longterm care facilities, or ASSOCIATED WITH longterm care facilities? In other words, does that number include staff?

All but two counties have reported cases. And I’m glad to see daily numbers somewhat stabilize also. No more major spikes. Let’s keep it that way as the state heads into “phase 3″.

The DeKalb County death was a resident of a long term care facility, one of 31 residents to test positive, along with nine staff.
