For the second straight day, the seven-day positivity rate in the region that covers East Central Illinois exceeded 8 percent.
If it remains at 8 or above when new data is updated Friday, Champaign, Douglas, Ford, Piatt, Vermilion and 16 surrounding counties will face additional restrictions as part of the state’s mitigation plan.
In nine of the state’s 11 regions — including the city of Chicago — rising numbers have already triggered restrictions that include no indoor service at bars and restaurants, 11 p.m. closings for bars and restaurants and further limitations on gathering sizes.
Region 6’s rolling seven-day rate — which as of earlier this month no longer include data from testing done on the UI campus — stood at 8.4 percent as of Oct. 26, according to figures updated Thursday by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The region crossed the 8.0 percent threshold for the first time Wednesday, when it climbed from 7.9 to 8.1 percent through Oct. 25.
The ninth region to be hit with restrictions — West Central Illinois' Region 3 — was announced early Thursday afternoon.
“This is the first time a central Illinois region has needed to implement mitigation measures because of increasing positivity,” IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said. “For those residents living in regions and communities where the virus didn’t seem to be ‘that bad,’ things are changing with positivity rates steadily increasing.
"We’ve seen regions move into and then out of mitigation, so we know the measures work. The more people adhere to the measures, the quicker we can move out of mitigation.”
Of 13,530 new tests, 75 came back positive Thursday in Champaign County,.
The county’s seven-day rate without University of Illinois testing factored in — the metric the state will use for Champaign County in its mitigation plan — jumped from 4.8 to 5.2 percent through Oct. 26.
