Region 6’s seven-day positivity rate rose again Monday — from 13.6 to 14.0 percent.
For Tier 1 mitigation measures to be lifted, the region that includes Champaign, Douglas, Ford, Piatt, Vermilion and 16 other counties must have three consecutive days of a rate under 6.5 percent.
More likely as the region wraps up its second week of advanced restrictions: It will be subject to additional Tier 2 measures, with an announcement coming from the state early this week.
The metrics the state uses cover a period that ends three days earlier (figures posted Monday are through Nov. 13) and exclude data from the UI campus’ massive saliva testing (if UI tests were included, the region’s rate would be 5.3 percent, unchanged from a day earlier).
A look at how the rate has grown over time:
- Oct. 26: 8.4 percent
- Oct. 27: 8.6 percent
- Oct. 28: 9.0 percent
- Oct. 29: 9.3 percent
- Oct. 30: 9.5 percent
- Oct. 31: 9.9 percent
- Nov. 1: 10.0 percent
- Nov. 2: 10.0 percent
- Nov. 3: 10.2 percent
- Nov. 4: 10.2 percent
- Nov. 5: 10.8 percent
- Nov. 6: 11.3 percent
- Nov. 7: 11.9 percent
- Nov. 8: 12.2 percent
- Nov. 9: 12.7 percent
- Nov. 10: 13.0 percent
- Nov. 11: 13.5 percent
- Nov. 12: 13.6 percent
- Nov. 13: 14.0 percent
Below is a look at the rolling seven-day rates of the 21 counties that make up Region 6, and how those rates compare to the previous day after Nov. 13 testing was factored in:
- Effingham: 25.0 percent (+1.8), 61 of 150 tests positive (40.7% daily rate) on Nov. 13
- Fayette: 24.7 percent (unchanged), 20 of 115 tests positive (17.4% daily rate) on Nov. 13

- DeWitt: 14.5 percent (-0.7), 5 of 68 tests positive (7.4% daily rate) on Nov. 13
- Vermilion: 14.5 percent (+0.5), 91 of 590 tests positive (15.4% daily rate) on Nov. 13
- Lawrence: 14.0 percent (-0.2), 12 of 79 tests positive (15.2% daily rate) on Nov. 13
- Coles: 13.5 percent (+0.2), 25 of 191 tests positive (13.1% daily rate) on Nov. 13

- Champaign: 9.6 percent* (+0.1), 143 of 1,424 tests positive (10.0% daily rate) on Nov. 13
*-If the UI’s saliva testing results were included in the state’s count, Champaign County’s seven-day rate would be 2.1 percent, unchanged overnight.
The Urbana Park District is halting indoor activities for at least the next three weeks due to rising coronavirus cases in the community.
The suspension takes effect at 5 p.m. Monday, the district announced, and includes:
— All indoor fitness programs at Phillips Recreation Center and Brookens Gym.
— Indoor lap swim, water exercise classes and swim team at Urbana Indoor Aquatic Center.
— Indoor facility rentals.
— Walk-in traffic at indoor facilities.
In Monday’s announcement, the park district said it will re-evaluate the situation on Dec. 7, adding that “staff will be in contact with people who have signed up for classes and programming during this suspension.”
The move does not affect outdoor parks.

Add RANTOUL HIGH SCHOOL to the list of Champaign County schools that will hold in-person learning this week, then reassess after Thanksgiving break.
“We are still working on our plans for the rest of the semester,” Superintendent Scott Amerio said Monday.
It’s been four days since C-U Public Health Administrator Julie Pryde recommended that all county schools pivot to all-remote learning as soon as possible due to community spread of COVID-19.
In the days since, the majority of Champaign County schools and districts outside of C-U have taken a similar approach to the one Rantoul will follow.
Here’s the latest on their plans:
— CHAMPAIGN UNIT 4 DISTRICT: For the 1,671 elementary students who returned to school buildings on Oct. 27, it’s back to all-remote learning starting this week, Superintendent Susan Zola said Thursday.
“This return to remote learning is not due to increased cases in our schools but rather increased cases in our community,” said Zola, whose district reported a total of 15 confirmed cases in elementary buildings (11 students, four staffers) during the first two weeks back.
— COUNTRYSIDE SCHOOL: In-person learning will continue until Friday, after which the Champaign school will shift to full remote until late January.
But that’s been the plan for weeks, said Krystal Young, Countryside’s interim head of administration.
“This was not due to the recommendation of CUPHD,” she said Sunday. “This has been our plan since early October, and we have been lucky enough to only have one case. If things change drastically this week, we will go remote early.”
— FISHER DISTRICT: “We plan to stay open until Thanksgiving, then reassess,” Superintendent Barb Thompson said Saturday. “Our numbers right now are extremely low — one active case — so our data doesn’t constitute a shutdown at this point.”
— GIFFORD GRADE SCHOOL: Superintendent Jay Smith said Sunday that the plan is to continue with in-person learning before determining later this week how to proceed beyond that.
“I will reassess over Thanksgiving break to determine if we can continue in-person,” Smith said.
— HERITAGE DISTRICT: Plans are to keep in-person learning this week. What happens beyond that will be discussed at Monday night’s school board meeting, Superintendent Tom Davis announced Friday.
— HOLY CROSS, ST. MALACHY, ST. MATTHEW, ST. THOMAS MORE, ST. THOMAS: Like the 37 other schools in the Peoria Diocese, it’s all-remote learning starting Monday and lasting through Jan. 18.
"The Bishops of Peoria and Office of Catholic Schools understand the many challenges that confront our school pastors, chaplains, principals, teachers, staffs, students and families with the issuance of this most recent guidance,” Peoria diocese Superintendent Sharon Weiss said in a Friday letter to pastors, chaplains and principals. “However, the safety and health of our school personnel and students is first and foremost what ultimately factors into this most difficult of decisions.”
— MAHOMET-SEYMOUR DISTRICT: While post-Thanksgiving plans remain TBD, Superintendent Lindsey Hall wrote in a Friday letter to parents, that “in the best interest of our students, as superintendent, it is my hope to remain open and following the hybrid plan we’ve been following until Dec. 18.
“I believe this is what is best for our students and families. This may or may not be possible and it is important for everyone to understand we may need to switch at some point to all remote learning. Today is not the day to make that determination. This is an evolving situation, and much could change between now and next week or the following week — this is how 2020 has been all along!”
As of Friday morning, the district had 115 in quarantine (105 students, 10 staff) and 16 positive cases (all students).
“While we've seen an uptick in cases this week, we are not considered to have had an ‘outbreak’ in our schools this week, as defined by CUPHD,” Hall wrote Friday. “Again, this goes back to our diligence with safety protocols in our schools.”
— PRAIRIEVIEW-OGDEN DISTRICT: Superintendent Jeff Isenhower said Sunday that his district is sticking with in-person learning this week and “taking it a week at a time right now.”
“We feel that our schools are set up to keep any spread from happening within our walls to the best of our ability,” Isenhower said. “We are watching two areas very closely.
“The first is the number of cases within the borders of our district combined with the number of positive cases within our student body. The second is having staff in place to cover everything that is needed to continue to serve our students and our families.
“We have been very close to being forced to go full remote but have thus far avoided it.”
— RANTOUL CITY SCHOOLS DISTRICT: In-person learning ended Friday and Superintendent Michelle Ramage is recommending it remain that way until Jan. 19 — “to ensure at least 14 days from New Year’s Eve,” she wrote in a Friday letter to parents.
The school board will make the final decision at its next meeting, scheduled for Thursday.
— ST. JOSEPH GRADE SCHOOL: In-person learning is a go this week, with the school shifting to remote after Thanksgiving. “It is our hope that we can return to in-person the beginning of January,” Superintendent Todd Pence said Friday.
— ST. JOSEPH-OGDEN HIGH: The plan is to hold in-person learning this week, then reassess, Superintendent Brian Brooks said Friday.
“We have put out a plan for our students, parents and staff to potentially go to full remote learning after Thanksgiving, with students coming back to in-person instruction on our current hybrid plan on January 5th,” Brooks said.
Brooks expects a decision sometime in the next few days. “The positive is that we will have a plan in place if we do go into full remote learning, and our teachers have a chance to communicate those things to their students in-person over this next week,” Brooks said.
— THOMASBORO GRADE SCHOOL: “After conversations with the school board and union, we have decided that Thomasboro Grade School will follow the ‘strongly recommended’ guidance by IDPH and move to online learning” starting on Nov. 30, Superintendent Bonnie McArthur wrote in a Friday letter to families.
“Please remember,” she added, “that guidance changes quickly and sometimes daily. This plan is subject to change. We appreciate your patience and understanding in these trying times.”
— UNITY DISTRICT: The plan calls for holding in-person classes this week, then assessing whether it should pivot to all-remote after Thanksgiving break.
On Saturday, Unity Superintendent Andy Larson said it’s likely that the district will likely make the switch: “Our kids have been resilient, our educators have been fantastic and we’re probably going to take three weeks of remote time and hopefully get back to it after the new year. Put a fork in 2020 and move on.”
— URBANA DISTRICT: On Oct. 6, Superintendent Jennifer Ivory-Tatum announced that plans to switch to hybrid learning would be put off until the second semester.
The seven-day positivity rate on campus held at 0.5 percent for the third straight day.
Twelve new cases emerged from 4,639 new tests Saturday on campus, a rate of 0.3 percent, according to data updated Sunday.
Since Aug. 24, when classes began, there have been 3,404 unique cases of COVID-19 on the UI campus.
