McLean, Piatt counties trigger COVID alert from state

BLOOMINGTON — McLean and Piatt counties are now at "warning level" status on the Illinois Department of Public Health's COVID dashboard. 
McLean County reported 50 new cases per 100,000 people for the week of July 11-17. Anything at over 50 triggers a warning. 
Piatt County is at 104 during the same period. 
Both counties also exceeded the threshold for emergency department visits with people who had COVID-19-like illnesses. Piatt also had a warning for the number of COVID tests performed.
McLean County officials have been warning about the fast-spreading delta variety of COVID. 
The St. Louis area has become one of the first in the country to reinstate masking requirements amid a rise in cases that health officials are blaming on low vaccination rates and the highly contagious delta variant.
