For County and School Metrics 9/13-9/19: http://www.dph.illinois.gov/countyschool?county=Vermilion (We only had 5 youth cases, which is considered to be minimal)
Regionally (Region 6)
Test Positivity 7 Day Rolling Average: 2 days of positivity increases, currently at 2.5% (we could see our region rise in our positivity rates as IDPH wants to take Champaign out of our region because they are skewing the results)
Hospital Admissions 7 Day Rolling Average: 3 days of hospital admission increases
For Regional Metrics, including the breakdown by county: http://www.dph.illinois.gov/regionmetrics
- They have expanded on the positivity rates and are now including daily testing rates. I was told that the numbers have been cleaned up to recognize and fix errors before being posted. 8% is what IDPH considers to be the danger zone for the rolling average and we are definitely getting close!
