Illinois reported 1,927 new COVID cases and 15 new deaths Tuesday. Chicago's top doc is warning that low booster rates could lead to a new variant.
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."The Chicago area is seeing some of the lowest COVID community transmission levels since the start of the pandemic. Cook County and all surrounding counties are all in the green, low-transmission group.
According to the Chicago Department of Public Health, only 14.6% of eligible Chicagoans have received the omicron-specific vaccine. "We are especially concerned for Latinx and Black Chicagoans who have born the brunt of COVID pandemic and are the least protected," Arwady said. In the meantime, Dr. Arwady is calling on parents to get their kids the both vaccines, especially the flu shot.
