The graphs below are created by HiGeorge and are “live,” so they are continually updated as new data is released from official sources. For that reason, the numbers within a graph might not match the number in the text of this post, depending on when the post is being viewed.

Testing

Starting tomorrow, IDPH will begin including both molecular and antigen tests in the number of statewide total tests performed in Illinois. Previously, due to the limited number of antigen tests and limited information about antigen test accuracy, antigen tests were not included in the total number (which comprised less than 1% of total tests performed). Antigen tests, like BinaxNOWâ„¢, are now becoming more readily available, therefore IDPH will include both molecular and antigen tests in its total number of tests starting October 15, 2020.
