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.
There are still 0 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Macon County.
Thus far, eleven tests have been completed in Macon County, with eight negative test results and three test results pending. Additionally, five Macon County residents have been tested outside of Macon County, with four negative test results and one test result pending. There is also a possibility that a provider has submitted and/or will submit a test to a private lab and the MCHD may not be notified, therefore unable to track that submission.
Currently Illinois has 1285 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 12 deaths, and 9868 have been tested.
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 COVID-19.
Stay home and avoid going out if it can be helped. Avoid gatherings of 10 people or more if you can.
We will continue to update you as more information continues to be made available.
