Revised Projected Peak Surge in Illinois: Mid-June
The Governor said the state’s COVID-19 cases are now
projected to peak in mid-June, according to several models that the state uses. A later and lower peak is a positive indicator of “flattening the curve” and a result of a slowdown of the state’s rate of transmission, which leads to a slower rate of increase over a longer period.
IDPH Revised Notice on Isolation Period for COVID-19 Cases
IDPH released a
notice on changes to the isolation period for COVID-19 cases. When symptom-based strategies are used, 10 days is now consistent for return-to-work criteria for both healthcare workers and non-healthcare workers. A 14-day quarantine period remains unchanged for close contact to COVID-19 cases.
Illinois stands strong with more COVID-19 testing centers opening to gather data.
