County Level COVID-19 Metrics - http://www.dph.illinois.gov/countymetrics

County Level COVID-19 Risk Metrics | IDPH IDPH is monitoring several indicators that measure the health burden of COVID-19 in each Illinois county and capture a county’s ability to respond. Many of these county-level indicators are similar to the Restore Illinois criteria and support that larger framework. These metrics are intended to be used for local level awareness of each county’s progress during Phase 4 and will www.dph.illinois.gov

 

 

Our new cases appear to also be travel related.  It is imperative to spread the word of the risks of traveling. 

 

Testing Locations:

 

OSF – only testing symptomatic individuals and pre-op patients through a doctors order

Carle – Testing employees, First Responders, and Carle Patients – you do not have to be asymptomatic

Aunt Martha’s – testing anyone – walk-in, no out of pocket costs, every day during regular hours.  (I have attached Aunt Martha’s New Flier for testing)

 

Mobile Units – We are looking at getting COVID-19 mobile testing units here in Vermilion County at 4 locations.  We will have more information about that when they are scheduled and locations are secured.  It looks like the middle of July is our target dates.  More information to come.
