Two weeks after Illinois’ COVID-19 numbers started moving in the wrong direction, the state on Tuesday reported its largest daily case count in almost a month.
numbers started moving in the wrong direction, the state on Tuesday reported its largest daily case count in almost a month.
Cases have been on an incline since March 21, but it’s still "nothing alarming at this point," Chicago Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said of the mini-spike that’s being driven by the BA.2 subvariant."I’m thinking it’s going to be probably more like what we saw, you know, during Alpha and during Delta, as opposed to this really out-of-control [surge] that we saw during Omicron" in early January, Arwady said during an online Q&A.
"[It’s] certainly something we’ll keep watching, but with each passing day, I feel more confident that we will be able to evade a very large surge right now," Arwady said.Several suburban COVID testing sites will be closing soon due to a lack of demand from local residents. Hospitalizations and deaths remain near pandemic lows in the city, averaging about eight new hospital admissions and less than one death per day.
