Hospitalizations, ventilator use dip in Illinois; 46 more have died
The number of Illinoisans fighting COVID-19 in hospitals has decreased, as has the tally of those on ventilators, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Monday.
Regarding ventilators, "that's a lot lower than we expected at this point," Pritzker said.
The news came as the number of people perishing from COVID-19 increased by 46 in one day, officials said Monday, and the tally of cases climbed by 2,341.
The average number of daily new cases over the last seven days was 2,565, and the average number of deaths was 99. Both of Monday's tallies are below average.
