Illinois and several other states in America are seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases due to Omicron. Illinois just reached another all-time high with its reported active cases of COVID-19.
Much of the U.S. is currently battling a surge in COVID cases spurred by the extra-contagious delta variant, but the new and even more contagious omicron.
COVID-19 hospitalizations in Illinois are back above 3,500 for the first time in 11 months, and health officials are placing the blame largely on the unvaccinated.
