Statistics

Vermilion County

Total Negatives:  25,801

Total positives: 603

Overall Positivity Rate: 2.30%

Death Rate: .66%

Positivity Rate from 9/13 – 9/19:  6.8% (if we hit 8%, that adds another warning area) 

New cases from 9/13 – 9/19:   154 per 100,000 (118 actual cases),  anything over 50 is considered in the warning area.

For All the County Metrics:  http://www.dph.illinois.gov/countymetrics

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!

  • The Mobile testing van will be back next week.  Flyer is attached
