McLean County health officials announced no new COVID-19 cases on Thursday, while four more people have recovered.
The McLean County Health Department reported the county has 223 confirmed cases; about 85% have recovered. Three remain hospitalized and 18 are in isolation. Thirteen patients have died.
The health department hasn’t provided any additional information on the first positive COVID-19 test reported at Heritage Health nursing home in Normal.
Last week, Gov. JB Pritzker ordered all Illinois nursing homes to test all residents and staff.
The Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois Emergency Management Agency announced Thursday all of its community-based testing sites will open to anyone.
The testing site at the Interstate Center in Bloomington already allowed all asymptomatic people to get tested. Pekin-based Reditus took over the testing on May 23.
The site is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. State officials have said the site will remain open as long as necessary.
