The threat of COVID-19 eased across Chicago and Cook County Thursday, as federal officials moved the warning level to “low” after just one week at “medium,” according to Centers for Disease Control data.That is likely to reduce fears, at least temporarily, of an imminent surge of COVID-19 once colder weather settled over Chicago for the duration, forcing people indoors.
During the past seven days, an average of 31 people have been hospitalized each day in Chicago from COVID-19, unchanged since a week ago, according to city data. Cook County now has 9.1 new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 residents during a seven-day period, according to data released by the CDC.
Federal health officials measure the strain facing hospitals from COVID-19 by the number of new hospital admissions per 100,000 residents during a seven-day period and the percent of staffed hospital beds in use by COVID-19 patients on average during the past seven days.
