CHICAGO -- Illinois public health officials reported 32,279 new COVID cases and 80 related deaths Wednesday. That's the largest one-day increase in new cases on record, which was previously 31,461 on Dec. 31, 2021.
As of Tuesday night, 6,842 patients in Illinois were reported to be in the hospital with COVID-19. Of those, 1135 patients were in the ICU and 663 patients with COVID-19 were on ventilators. Combined with a shortage of health care workers due to burnout after nearly two years and five major resurgences, Ezike said hospitals are being pushed to the brink.
