One hundred of Illinoisâ 102 counties made the stateâs weekly coronavirus warning level list on Friday.
The two that didnât? Champaign and Piatt.
Of the eight indicators the Illinois Department of Public Health uses to determine which counties are shaded in orange (warning level) vs. blue, Champaign and Piatt were each on target in all but one: new cases per 100,000 people.
The target is under 50. Piatt was at 421, Champaign 429.
Any counties that exceed the targets in two or more of the eight indicators are at a warning level. Locally, that applies to:
Piatt: 5.3 percent (-0.6)
If the UIâs saliva testing results were included in the stateâs count, Champaign Countyâs seven-day rate would be 2.2 percent, unchanged from the day prior.
Pritzker continues to urge caution

SPRINGFIELD Gov. J.B. Pritzker continued during talks this week to emphasize that the next few weeks could be the “most important” time of the coronavirus pandemic as officials wait to see if the predicted “surge” in cases, or the “surge on top of a surge” takes place.
During a daily briefing the governor said there are some hopeful signs the current Tier 3 mitigation measures are having a positive effect, but the state is still dangerously close to running out of hospital space.
“I’m hopeful some of the recent early improvements in our trends continue,” he said. “But the ‘surge on top of a surge’ is still the focus.”
