A look at the number of recently confirmed COVID-19 cases across the state.
One day after setting a one-day maximum with 12 new cases, Vermilion County added seven more on Thursday.
They involve two-grade school-age children, two residents in their 40s, one in adolescence, one in their 20s and one in their 30s, the county health department reported.
Of the seven new positive cases, four share a home.
Despite a recent spike in cases, the county’s seven-day positivity rate remains low (1.8 percent) and public health administrator Doug Toole says residents appear to be taking the virus seriously.
“There is a segment of the population that believes that we are overreacting to this pandemic,” Toole told The News-Gazette. “But most of the phone calls I get are from people who are frustrated with those who don’t follow the guidelines, or who are worried or scared about what the disease might do to them or their family members.”
How the 132 Vermilion County cases are crumbling now:
- Released from isolation / recovered: 98
