Dear friend,
The Illinois Department of Public Health announced 2,149 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 20 deaths today. Illinois stands at just under 8,000 lives lost to this pandemic.
According to the IDPH, nearly 400 people with COVID-19 are hospitalized in intensive care units across Illinois, the highest number of people receiving critical care because of the coronavirus since late June.
We cannot lose sight of the fight to contain this virus. Please remember that there is testing available right here in the 16th District. See information below on the testing site here in the Auburn Gresham area and know that if you have any reason to believe you've been exposed, whether or not you are displaying symptoms, you can use this free testing site. Knowing if you have been infected protects yourself, your family, and your community.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Collins
State Senator, 16th Illinois Senate District
