THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH IS LAUNCHING A NEW TOOL TO HELP ASSESS THE THREAT OF THE CORONAVIRUS IN YOUR AREA. 

THE RISK ASSESSMENT TOOL PROVIDES INFORMATION LIKE THE NUMBER OF NEW CASES IN YOUR COUNTY, E-R VISITS WITH VIRUS LIKE SYMPTOMS AND WHETHER THERE HAVE BEEN ANY CLUSTERS OF INFECTION. STATE PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR DOCTOR NGOZI (en-gazhi) EZIKE (eh-zee-kay) SAYS IT’S DISPLAYED AS A MAP.

THE TOOL FEATURES A MAP THAT ASSESSES HOW EACH COUNTY IS DOING WHEN IT COMES TO NEW CASES, CLUSTERS OF CASES, HOSPITALIZATION AND MORE. STATE PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR DOCTOR NGOZI (en-gahzi) EZIKE (eh-zee-kay) SAYS THE IDEA IS TO GIVE PEOPLE A FEEL FOR WHAT IS SAFE FOR THEM TO DO.
