More than 100 coronavirus outbreaks have been reported in schools in Illinois, several involving more than a dozen cases in educational institutions, according to statewide data.
The latest figures from the Illinois Department of Public Health show 128 outbreaks are active in Illinois schools as of Friday, including 14 in Cook County alone.
At Glenbrook Elementary School, an outbreak involving between 11 and 14 students has been reported, while another outbreak at St. Mary’s Catholic School, located in Mokena, involves between five and 10 cases.
At least 11 outbreaks have also been reported in Will County, including two involving more than five cases at Reed-Custer Elementary School and Eichelberger Elementary School.
Some of the worst outbreaks have occurred in western and southern Illinois, including several school districts in Macoupin County. More than 16 cases of the virus remain active in various schools in the region, officials say.
At East Side High School in St. Clair County, more than 16 cases have been reported and between five and 10 cases reported at another school in the area.
Although some schools offer their own case tracking tools, IDPH publishes data weekly showing COVID outbreaks of the past 30 days in schools across the state.
According to the Department of Health, information about the outbreak is reported once an investigation is considered complete. An outbreak is defined as “those who have been identified by the local health department as having two or more cases of COVID-19 which may have shared exposure on school grounds and are from different households”.
