"Even though this is the last mile, we have almost 13 million people in the state. Herd immunity requires maybe 80 percent. We're talking about 10 million people. Five have done it now. It will take quite a while to get to that 10 million." Ezike said it's hard to lay out an exact timeline, but "most of 2021 will be spent in this effort." As of Wednesday night, 4,751 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 across Illinois, including 1,056 in intensive care and 575 on ventilators. The statewide case positivity rate — a rolling, seven-day average — fell 0.1 percentage points to 8.4 percent. (The positivity rate is the number the state has reported since the start of the pandemic and is calculated by dividing total cases detected by total tests performed. Another way to calculate the positivity rate is to divide the number of positive tests by total tests performed. By that calculation, the test positivity rate is 10 percent.) According to Johns Hopkins University, a positivity rate of less than 5 percent is a good measure of whether enough tests are being conducted, and state officials have said a rate higher than 8 percent will trigger new restrictions in a given region. See how your region is doing here. The United States now has more than 17 million confirmed coronavirus infections, and at least 308,908 Americans have died from COVID -19, according to Johns Hopkins University. Based on the latest predictions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 332,000 to 362,000 Americans could be dead from the disease by Jan. 2. Globally, more than 74.6 million people have been infected and more than 1.6 million are known to have died. Patch Editor J. Ryne Danielson contributed to this report. Illinois Patch Local Business Information Center As local and state economies slowly emerge from pandemic lockdowns, it's often hard for customers to know the conditions under which local businesses are open. The business center contains easily accessible and up-to-date information about scores of local businesses, including everything from operating hours to the availability of by-appointment services, quick website links and other contact information. It's free to use and free for businesses to join.

What to do if you're sick: Call head if you're planning to visit your doctor: If you have a medical appointment, call the health care provider and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the health care provider's office take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed. Stay home unless you must see a doctor: Stay home: People who are mildly ill with COVID-19 are able to isolate at home during their illness. You should restrict activities outside your home, except for getting medical care.Avoid public areas: Do not go to work, school, or public areas.Avoid public transportation: Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing or taxis. Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home: Stay away from others: As much as possible, you should stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. Also, you should use a separate bathroom, if available.Limit contact with pets and animals: You should restrict contact with pets and other animals while you are sick with COVID-19, just as you would around other people. Although there have not been reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19, it is still recommended that people sick with COVID-19 limit contact with animals until more information is known about the virus.When possible, have another member of your household care for your animals while you are sick. If you are sick with COVID-19, avoid contact with your pet, including petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked and sharing food. If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wash your hands before and after you interact with pets and wear a face mask. See COVID-19 and Animals for more information. Avoid sharing personal household items: Do not share: You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, or bedding with other people or pets in your home.Wash thoroughly after use: After using these items, they should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Masks: CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.Face mask instructions — sew- and no-sew masks To donate personal protective equipment (PPE), email [email protected].
