General Updates
Region 6 (without UIUC tests) increased to 7.8% (ending 10/23).
Vermilion County’s 7-Day rolling average is 7.7%. This is the first time Vermilion County has been below the warning level since September 27th. I would like to continue this trend to get us out of the County Warning list. Unfortunately, one bad day can make us go back above 8% since we’ve had a lot of previous bad days. It is important to not get pandemic fatigue, even though I know we all have it. Continue to be vigilant. Remember to think of our most vulnerable and the steps we need to take to keep them safe. We have lost 8 (67% of total deaths) of our community members just in the last month.
