For the period of November 7th through the 9th, 113 new cases of COVID-19 infection were reported to Livingston County officials. 64 inmates at Pontiac Correctional Center were diagnosed with the disease during that same time period.

Those figures raise the county’s overall total to 1,153 total positive tests with 236 cases remaining active. 905 people who were diagnosed with the disease have completed their isolation period. No one is currently hospitalized with the disease, but 12 people have died from COVID-19 related causes.

LCHD.US, the website for the Livingston County Health Department, remains the county’s central clearinghouse for COVID-19 information. The health department is also making appointments for COVID-19 testing. Call (815) 844-7174 to schedule a time. Tests are performed at OSF St. James-John W. Albrecht medical center with limited testing supplies, so appointments are strongly encouraged.
