74 New Deaths in Illinois from Coronavirus

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Public Health says 74 new deaths are reported in the state, giving a total pandemic death count of just over 4,100 Illinosans.  OF the 74, 90 percent lived in the Chicagoland area, and four people were in their 100’s, and 16 in their 90’s.  The youngest person reported to have died Saturday was  in his 30’s.  Two thousand new Covid-19 cases were reported on Saturday, out of 23,000 tests.  That gives a total positive testing rate of 15 percent for the past week, which Governor Pritzker says is one of the important metrics he will look at when deciding on further reopening the state.
