Illinois reported 2,573 new COVID cases and 21 new deaths Friday. COVID-19 cases are rising in Chicago Public Schools, and across the city.

The Illinois Dept. of Public Health says "daily deaths reported on weekends and at the beginning of the week may be low" and "those deaths will be captured in subsequent days."COVID-19 transmission has been raised to a "medium" risk level in Cook County as well as its surrounding counties, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"I didn't get it before because of the inconvenience to go get it," Rodriguez said. "They didn't really advertise places to get it." "If you are going to be with people, test as a favor to them so you know your status the morning of that day or at least a day before if that is possible to do," Dr. Loafman suggested.

"I shot over here -- in and out in 15 minutes. As soon as it is over, I'm going to call my friends and family to get down here and get the shots," he said."Earlier today, I tested positive for COVID-19," she said in a post on Twitter.
