The McLean County Health Department announced two new COVID-19 cases on Thursday.

The McLean County Health Department has reported 245 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the county. Of those, 219 patients have recovered, 13 are isolating at home and 13 people have died. No one is in the hospital.

The rate of infection appears to have slowed in recent days as the county has announced six new cases in the last six days, including one asymptomatic resident at Martin Health Center in Bloomington earlier this week.

Health metrics for all four regions of Illinois are on target to move to Phase 4 of Gov. JB Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan on June 26. That would allow bars and restaurants to host indoor dining, schools and child-care centers to open and gatherings of up to 50 people.
