Illinois reported 4,745 new COVID cases and zero deaths Monday. CDPH is recommending masks in public indoor spaces.
CHICAGO -- Illinois reported 4,745 new COVID cases and zero deaths Monday as the CDC said 9 Chicago-area counties have maintained a"medium" risk of transmission.
A total of 22,044,363 vaccine doses have been administered in Illinois as of Sunday, and 64.77% of the state's population is fully vaccinated. The seven-day rolling average of vaccines administered daily is 13,180. "There unfortunately is a misconception that we're out of this, and so I think people are not as cautious as they were before," said Dr. Susan Bleasdale, director for infection prevention at UI Health.
For now, it's still a recommendation and not a requirement. But if hospitalizations continue to climb, that could be on the horizon.
