^^^ For Region 7, a reminder that positivity rate is NOT the only metric the state uses to put mitigations on a region.

7/10 days of rising positivity and 7/10 days of rising hospitalizations can do it too. @JoeHosey and @Joliet_HN will have you covered if it happens.

Same heads up for Region 9 as Region 7.

7 days of increases in positivity AND 7 days of increases in hospitalizations can get your region more mitigations. @MEKColeman and @nwherald will have you covered if that happens. coronavirus.illinois.gov/s/restore-illi…
