* Press release

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today announced 1,622 new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Illinois, including 86 additional deaths.

Edgar County is now reporting a case COVID-19. Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 117,455 cases, including 5,270 deaths, in 101 counties in Illinois. The age of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years. Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported 25,513 specimens for a total of 855,479. The preliminary seven-day statewide positivity for cases as a percent of total test from May 22–May 28 is 8%.

*All data are provisional and will change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in real-time. 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 deaths previously reported has changed, therefore, today’s numbers have been adjusted.

…Adding… Dr. Ezike…

As of midnight, 3599 individuals were hospitalized with COVID-19. Of those 3599 individuals, 980 were in the ICU and 593 were on ventilators.

  1. “Edgar County is now reporting a case COVID-19.”

    Scott County is the only county without a case.

  2. “IDPH is reporting … cases … in 101 counties in Illinois.”

    Further evidence that covid19 has been slowing creeping across the entire State of Illinois. That the imagined insulation of being a rural community is just that, imaginary. It is only a matter of time that there will have been a case in all 102 counties.

  3. Has the governor had a haircut? I try to look behind his ears to see, but between the dark suit and the background I can’t tell.

  4. Pritzker said we were the first state to meet White House guidelines for reopening. Congrats and thanks to all who make necessary sacrifices for the common good, and for entering Phase 3.
