We will be sharing updates about the status of the COVID-19 virus everyday as information is made available to us by the Macon County Crisis Communication Team.
Currently there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Macon County. Thus far, ten tests have been completed in Macon County, with eight negative test results and two test results pending. Additionally, three Macon County residents have been tested outside of Macon County.
We want to remind people that if you are experiencing possible symptoms of COVID-19, that you should not go to the Emergency Room.
These are mild symptoms that come with the virus.
Because testing is not widely available to the general public, it is imperative that community members, whether feeling ill or well, implement social distancing best practices to limit the spread of the disease.
The disease has hit all age groups in Illinois. As more testing is made available we are expecting to see more positive cases in Illinois.
Stay home and avoid going out if it can be helped. Avoid gatherings of 10 people or more if you can.
