The state reported 5,368 new COVID-19 cases today, a massive spike that the Illinois Department of Public Health blamed on a slowdown in data processing at the department this week.
It's the largest single-day case total the state's reported since it began tracking COVID cases. See the latest city and state figures in the charts below.
While the slowdown caused delayed reporting in “additional aggregate numbers, it did not affect the reporting of positive or negative results to individuals in any way.”
That slowdown “affected the reporting of tests due to the large volume of testing occurring in Illinois,” the department said. “All available resources were deployed to improve the data systems, which are now fixed, and the backlog created by the slowdown has been cleared. Two system upgrades were put in place and the systems now have significantly faster processing capacity.”
The state’s seven-day positive-test rate from Aug. 28 until Sep. 3 was 4.1 percent.
