Illinois reported 5,724 new COVID cases and 16 new deaths Wednesday. Multiple Chicago area counites have been raised to a 'medium' risk level.
The Illinois Dept. of Public Health says "daily deaths reported on weekends and at the beginning of the week may be low" and "those deaths will be captured in subsequent days."COVID-19 transmission has been raised to a "medium" risk level in Cook County as well as Lake, DuPage and McHenry counties, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Chicago Dept. of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady received her fall 2022 COVID-19 booster just before Thanksgiving. At Saint Anthony Hospital in Chicago, one of the only community hospitals in the area with its own pediatric unit, the beds are full. So is the emergency room. RSV, COVID and now a rising number of flu cases are pushing the small hospital back into disaster planning.
"You have the bigger hospitals that have the bells and whistles and they are unable to staff," Prendkowski said. "What does that say for smaller hospitals?"
