What does it mean when a County Moves to Phase 4?
-If tests positivity rate is ≤ 6.5 percent for three consecutive days (measured with the 7-day rolling average)
-Available intensive care unit (ICU) and medical/surgical bed capacity ≥ 20 percent for three consecutive days (measured with the 7-day rolling average)
-No sustained increase in the number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals (measured with the 7-day rolling average for 7 of 10 days)
RESTAURANTS AND BARS
•Indoor dining and drinking now permitted for parties of up to 10 people
•Seated areas should be arranged so that tables allow for 6 feet between parties; impermeable barriers may be installed between booths which are less than 6 feet apart
RETAIL AND SERVICE COUNTER
•Continue capacity limit of no more than 50% occupancy
PERSONAL CARE
•Continue capacity limit of no more than 50% occupancy
INDOOR/OUTDOOR RECREATION
•Reopening select indoor recreation facilities (e.g., bowling alleys, skating rinks); indoor playgrounds and trampoline parks should remain closed
•Indoor recreation to operate at lesser of 50 customers or 50% of facility capacity
MUSEUMS
•Capacity limit of no more than 25% occupancy
•Guided tours should be limited to 50 or fewer people per group
MEETINGS AND SOCIAL EVENTS
•Limit to the lesser of 50 people or 50% of room capacity
•Multiple groups may meet in the same facility if they are socially distanced and in separate rooms.
These metrics are intended to be used for local level awareness to help local leaders, businesses, local health departments, and the public make informed decisions about personal and family gatherings, as well as what activities they choose to do. The metrics are updated weekly, from the Sunday-Saturday of the prior week.

McDonough County COVID-19 Dashboard
Illinois Regional Resurgence Information
IDPH is monitoring key indicators to identify early but significant increases of COVID-19
transmission in Illinois, potentially signifying resurgence. These indicators are calculated for
eleven newly described Illinois regions. IDPH will monitor if these indicators show an
increase in COVID-19 disease burden with a simultaneous decrease in hospital
capacity OR if there are three consecutive days greater than or equal to 8% test positivity rate
(7 day rolling). These indicators can be used to determine whether additional community
mitigation interventions are needed for a region to control the further spread of COVID-19.
Indicators are calculated daily for each region based on the most current, complete data. Each
indicator is compared to a pre-established threshold value to evaluate the COVID-19 disease
burden and hospital resource capacity. By applying the same metrics to each region, IDPH uses
a standardized approach to monitor the state as a whole while also monitoring regional trends.
Once a region meets resurgence criteria, mitigation measures will be implemented. If sustained
increases in health metrics continue unabated, more stringent mitigation measures will be
implemented. Tiered mitigation measures can be found here.
McDonough county is part of region 2. Region 2, in the state of Illinois will
begin operating under Phase 4 mitigation strategies on Monday January 25, 2021.
