Mitigation Measures  (This is NOT Phase 3)

 

TIER ONE – Still on Tier 1

 

The state has not put us on Tier 2 yet, even though it has been 14 days since we were put on Tier 1 and that is the guidance they have followed for other counties.  I have asked what plans are and am waiting to hear back.  I will keep you posted.  Continue to follow Tier 1 until we hear more.

Testing Information

 

• IMPORTANT:  If your agency is doing any testing, please make sure that your negative and positive results are being submitted through IDPH’s redcap system.  If you are not registered in redcap, you MUST create an account and begin to enter your results.  https://redcap.dph.illinois.gov/ This is crucial that our county accounts for every test we do.   
• Testing Results:  To get results for mobile testing, you can call 1-800-889-3931 or 1-888-297-7208.  Please wait at least 3-4 days after testing before you call.  The State of Illinois Testing Center should call, but this is just in case.
