Our REGIONAL positivity rate maintained at 7.2%. Vermilion County’s latest weekly rate (ending in 9/29) is now at 8.3 (chart is below) which is in the warning area. This does not mean we go into extra restrictions; this means that next week, we will most likely be placed back on the warning list if we continue going up. We only go into REGIONAL mitigations if we go over 8% for 3 consecutive days as a region.
