SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Department of Public Health today announced 29 new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) across Illinois. Five additional counties are now reporting cases Champaign, Clinton, Sangamon, Whiteside, and Winnebago counties. Other locations with cases include Chicago and Cook, Cumberland, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, St. Clair, and Woodford counties.
We are seeing the number of COVID-19 cases increase exponentially and in more locations across Illinois, said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. At this point, it is best to assume that the coronavirus is circulating in your community and you should take the same precautions when interacting with other people that you would when interacting with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This may seem like an extreme step, but this is how we reduce the number of new cases...

Here in Washington state we have tested more than 10,000 people. 764 are positive and 9451 are negative.
The University of Washington is the biggest test facility. They have drive-through testing for all staff, students and patients of UW Medical.
We had six deaths Friday, three deaths Saturday, two deaths today, Sunday.
As I’m sure everyone is aware, we had our first confirmed case in the nation on January 20. So far 42 Washington folks have died.
The positive goes up about 100 per day with each 1,000 tested
