The D115 Dashboard has been updated for the week of February 1, 2021, to reflect the latest information from our school and local health departments
On February 3, 2021, North Suburban Region 9, which includes Lake and McHenry Counties, met the criteria set by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to move from Tier 1 mitigations to Phase 4 under the State’s Restore Illinois Plan.
As of January 31, Region 9’s COVID-19 testing positivity rate is 6.2% calculated on a 7-day rolling average. The region’s testing positivity rate has been below 6.5% for three consecutive days, staffed intensive care unit (ICU) bed availability has risen to above 30%, and decreases in COVID-19 patients in the hospital have been reported in 10 of the past 10 days.
Our incidence rates for staff and students also are low, and our schools have maintained sufficient staffing and risk mitigation measures to allow us to remain in-person hybrid for instruction. Thank you for your collective effort to support our students and safe schools!
