Illinois reported 9,462 new COVID cases and 81 related deaths Friday as health officials continue to urge COVID vaccines to fight omicron.
Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said the city has passed the peak from the omicron variant.
Pritzker said Wednesday that he is encouraged by the declining number of COVID cases and, particularly, the drop in the number of hospitalizations, which peaked statewide last week. At Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, the number of COVID patients has now dropped below 100 for the first time since the day after Christmas, but they are still are operating at 106% capacity using overflow beds for 26 patients. But Chief Medical Officer Dr. Chris Udovich is hopeful the omicron peak has indeed passed.
IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said Wednesday the key metric they are watching now is not the number of COVID cases, but hospitalizations.
