Weekend coronavirus updates: Woman in 50s is third Champaign County resident in three days to lose life to COVID-19; 96 new cases push county total over 7,000

For the fourth time this week, Illinois set a single-day record for most new COVID-19 cases — 12,438.

Saturday’s total broke the previous pandemic high — set 24 hours earlier — by 2,062 cases.

A look at the week’s totals, with new records marked with asterisks:

  • Saturday: 98,418 tests, 12,428 cases*
  • Friday: 98,401 tests, 10,376 cases*
  • Thursday: 86,015 tests, 9,935 cases*
  • Wednesday: 71,857 tests, 7,538  cases
  • Tuesday: 82,435 tests, 6,516 cases
  • Monday: 68,118 tests,  9,810 cases*
  • Sunday: 78,458 tests, 6,980 cases

The statewide seven-day positivity rate, which stood at 7.5 percent at this time last week, is now 10.3 percent.

REGION 6: Seven-day rate holds at 10.2 percent

Six days after additional mitigation measures took effect, Region 6’s seven-down positivity rate stands at 10.2 percent, the same as on Friday.

For restrictions to be lifted, the region that includes Champaign, Douglas, Ford, Piatt, Vermilion and 16 other counties must have three consecutive days of a rate under 6.5 percent.

The metrics the state uses cover a period that ends three days earlier (figures announced Saturday are through Nov. 4) and exclude data from the UI campus’ massive saliva testing (if UI tests were included, the region’s rate would be 3.7 percent, up from 3.5 overnight).

Below is a look at the rolling seven-day rates of the 21 counties that make up Region 6, and how those rates compare to the previous day.

  • Effingham: 18.2 percent (+0.2)
  • Fayette: 17.5 percent (+6.7)
  • Iroquois: 15.3 percent (+1.3)
  • Clay: 14.8 percent (+0.6)
  • Douglas: 14.4 percent (+0.9)
  • Macon: 13.9 percent (-0.1)
  • Clark: 11.6 percent (+3.4)
  • Vermilion: 11.6 percent (-0.1)
  • Shelby: 10.6 percent (—)
  • Coles: 10.2 percent (-0.3)
  • Cumberland: 10.2 percent (-0.2)
  • Moultrie: 9.8 percent (+0.1)
  • DeWitt: 8.4 percent (-0.2)
  • Ford: 7.7 percent (+0.8)
  • Jasper: 7.7 percent (-0.3)
  • Piatt: 7.2 percent (+0.8)
  • Champaign: 6.9 percent* (-0.2)
  • Lawrence: 6.7 percent (-0.8)
  • Crawford: 6.5 percent (-1.2)
  • Richland: 5.0 percent (-0.3)
  • Edgar: 4.9 percent (+0.9)

*-If the UI’s saliva testing results were included in the state’s count, Champaign County’s seven-day rate would be 1.4 percent, same as the four previous days.
