BLOOMINGTON – Since Friday, the McLean County Health Department is reporting 93 new cases of COVID-19, increasing the county’s probable cases to 18,927.
McLean County Public Health Department Administrator Jessica McKnight reports 12 McLean County residents are hospitalized for COVID-19, while three other patients from outside the county are hospitalized in twin city hospitals for COVID-19.
Additionally, 195 people are isolating at home, while 18,479 people are considered recovered from the virus.
More than 391,800 tests have resulted in a cumulative positivity rate of 4.8%, while the rolling 7-day positivity rate is 3.6%, down from 4.2% on Friday.
“Millions of people have now been vaccinated. New data show that a small number of vaccinated people can be infected by the delta variant in a breakthrough infection and may be contagious, but these cases represent a very small amount of transmission occurring around the country,” said McKnight. “Areas of low vaccination coverage are experiencing rapidly increasing cases.”
McKnight reports approximately 171,280 doses of the vaccine have been administered in the county, and 49.05% are fully vaccinated.
So far, 51.06% of Illinois residents are fully vaccinated.
