Kane Health Officials Emphasize Progress Against COVID-19 Pandemic

Kane County health officials didn’t exactly claim victory over the coronavirus at today’s Public Health Committee meeting, but they did share a lot of good news about the status of the pandemic here at home.

In his report to the committee, Kane County Health Department Assistant Director of Community Health Michael Isaacson showed graphics from the Illinois Department of Public Health website that show some of the progress that has been made.

Screenshots of that report are above.

As you can see, the seven-day test positivity rate for Kane DuPage Region 8 has fallen dramatically since April and is now down to 1.4%. We have gone 146 days under the state’s 8% threshold.

Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are also way down.

Isaacson noted that the county is nearing the half-million mark in total vaccinations and that 235,927 Kane County residents are fully vaccinated, accounting for 44.16% of the population.
