Over a 24-hour period, officials said the state processed 63,648 specimens. In total there have been 11,776,832 specimens tested since the start of the pandemic in Illinois.

The preliminary seven-day statewide test positivity from Dec. 6-12 is 10.6%.

The test positivity rate is a metric the state began providing in late October. It is calculated by using the total number of positive tests over the total number of tests. This is the metric being used to by state health officials to make decisions about mitigations.

As of Saturday night, 5,073 people in Illinois were reported to be hospitalized with COVID-19. Of those, 1,080 patients were in the ICU with COVID-19 and 612 patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators.

It’s becoming clear how many vaccine doses are going to different counties in the Chicago area. See how many doses your county will receive in our Chicagoland COVID-19 vaccine guide.

U.S. officials say the nation’s first COVID-19 vaccine will begin arriving in states Monday morning.

Gov. JB Pritzker said the high number of COVID-19 deaths is weighing on him.

“I don’t know what to say, except extraordinarily frustrating,” he said.

Dr. Ezike said Friday that for the sake of the health care system, people should not travel for the holidays, but if they do, they should get tested before and after their trip.

“But please understand that, having those tests, does not really give you a free pass and insure there could be no transmission of infection,” Dr. Ezike said.

Because the vaccine will not be available to the general public for several months, the governor is urging people to act as though there is no vaccine, and continue to wear masks and practice social distancing.

While hospitalizations continue to decline, albeit slightly, there is still concern about a holiday surge. In mid-December, Illinois is on track for its deadliest month in the pandemic.

“We are not out of the Thanksgiving surge period yet,” Gov. Pritzker said. “We unfortunately still have hundreds more Illinoisans in the hospital fighting COVID-19 than we did at our spring peak.”

The 196 COVID-19 deaths reported in Illinois Thursday were the third highest yet, bringing the total in the last seven days to 1,031. That’s a 19% increase from the week prior, when there were 866 deaths.
