Iroquois County COVID 19 Update 11/3/2020

As of 11/02/20 there have been 577 confirmed cases and 71 probable cases of COVID-19 in Iroquois County.  There have been 43 new confirmed cases and 3 new probable cases since our last update.

Many of Iroquois County’s most recent cases have been epidemiologically linked to large events in the community such as unofficial homecomings and weddings.

*Iroquois County has a minimum of at least 20 additional cases that ICPHD has not contacted at the time of this press release. The data regarding these cases will be included in our next press release. We are processing positive results as quickly as possible but the volume of results have inundated our staff.

 

Please find the attached Iroquois County COVID-19 update for November 2, 2020. Please reference the following explanation of probable cases:

 

“The probable cases that we will be reporting on the daily press release are individuals who have been tested and are found to have a positive test result by a local clinic using "rapid" tests that are not, at this time, IDPH approved tests. These are antigen tests, not molecular tests, and are not laboratory confirmed. Therefore, those individuals who test positive using rapid testing from this source, will be reported as a probable case. Please note that there are different rapid tests available from different sources. Some rapid tests are IDPH approved while some are not. If individuals chose to be tested at a clinic or physician’s office that is using a test that is not IDPH approved and the results are positive, that individual will be listed as a probable case and will be required to isolate per health department protocol. Their direct, known and identified contacts will be quarantined. We realize that there are numerous definitions of Probable Cases but ICPHD will use the Probable Cases category to identify the individuals who have tested positive using a rapid test, not yet approved by IDPH, as these positive results are not laboratory confirmed.”
