Macon County COVID-19 Update 10/20/2022 - 10/26/2022

Beginning in November, the Macon County Health Department will move to monthly COVID-19 case reporting. With this change, we will be reporting the total number of cases from the previous month on the second business day of each month. We have made this decision based on a number of factors, including COVID-19 information and case reporting being readily available on the CDC and IDPH. We will report the case totals from October 27-31 on November 2^nd, then begin with the monthly reports.
