According to the CDC, almost half of Illinois’ counties are at a high community level of transmission for COVID-19, including Sangamon.
1,424 Illinois residents are hospitalized with the virus with 152 in the ICU and 42 patients on ventilators.
For areas of high community transmission levels, the CDC recommends a well-fitting mask indoors regardless of vaccination status, consider avoiding non-essential indoor activities, and talk your doctor if you test positive in case you are eligible for treatments.
