My team & I are continuously looking at hospitalization data as we adjust resources in our battle with #COVID19. All of this information—including regional breakdowns—is available to the public at http://www.dph.illinois.gov/covid19/hospitalization-utilization

Here's the latest from our hospitals across the state:

Early modeling in mid-March showed that w/o social distancing we would have exceeded our hospital capacity by more than 25,000 beds by April 6.

While we're still seeing too many in the hospital, we’ve so far prevented our worst-case scenarios because you're #AllInIllinois.

If everyone wasn't doing their part by staying home, we would have needed thousands more ventilators by now on top of our existing capacity.

To prepare for a surge, we acquired about 1,000 ventilators over the last month.

While we can never know the exact impacts of the efforts all of you have made to protect your communities, all the projections indicate that you have saved thousands of lives.
