The District 67 COVID-19 Dashboard The District 67 COVID-19 Dashboard has been updated for the week of March 1, 2021, to reflect the latest information from our schools and local health departments. As of March 3rd, the incidence and positivity rates for Lake County and the 60045 zip code have decreased over the past week. At this time, we have no known COVID-19 cases in any of our schools, and the quarantine numbers across all campuses are low. Thank you for your continued efforts to adhere to the 3W’s!
Updated Data Tracking
The Lake County Health Department (LCHD) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently released updated versions of their data hubs. The LCHD site launched 2 new visualizations that allow users to toggle between the percent change and prevalence. They also added an Under 18 category that includes incidence rates subdivided into 4 different age groups under 18.
The CDC updated their COVID Data Tracker to allow users to see the level of community transmission by county, as well as other COVID-related data and trends across the United States. Their website is updated daily by 8 pm ET, and is currently more up-to-date than the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) county-level metrics.
Vaccine Update
The number of vaccinations in Lake County increased this week from 6,150 to 9,100. Over 75% of the District 67 staff that want to be vaccinated have received both doses of the vaccine, or have received the first dose and have an appointment for their second dose.
Weekly Surveillance Testing
Weekly surveillance testing continues to be available to all staff and students in all of our schools. Appointments can be scheduled using the District 67 Registration link.
