The above is a report from Southern Seven Health Department (S7HD) on COVID-19 in the southern seven region. All data are provisional and subject to change. In order to rapidly report COVID-19 information to the public, data are being reported in real-time. Information is constantly being entered into an electronic system and the number of cases and deaths can change as additional information is gathered. Southern Seven Health Department will not release specific information about individuals with COVID-19 beyond their county of residence, gender and age range, unless ordered by the courts.
Residents in the seven county region can now schedule themselves for COVID-19 vaccine appointments using the Illinois Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 Vaccine Registration system online at: https://covidvaccination.dph.illinois.gov. Individuals may still contact out Administrative Office for assistance with scheduling by calling (618)634-2297.

Southern Seven reminds everyone to continue to follow COVID-19 safety measures in public settings, even after fully vaccinated, to further control the spread of this virus. COVID-19 can be spread up to 48 hours before a person has symptoms. Anyone not fully vaccinated who has been at gatherings where little to no safety measures were in place is a risk of contracting COVID-19 and are asked to watch for symptoms. If you begin to show symptoms, isolate immediately and contact your healthcare provider about getting tested for COVID-19. Information impacting the Phase 5 of Restore Illinois can be found at https://coronavirus.illinois.gov/restore-illinois/phase-5.html.
