Positivity rate doubles as Peoria area residents resist COVID vaccine

PEORIA – COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise in the Tri-County Area, a fact which health officials attribute to the increasing prevalence of the more infectious Delta variant and low vaccination numbers in the Peoria area. “Our positivity rate has doubled in the past 2 weeks, and our ZIP codes which have the lowest vaccination rates continue to have the highest number of cases,” said Monica Hendrickson, administrator for the Peoria City County Health Department. “On July 1, our seven-day average was one new case per day. Today we are back up to double digits; we are reporting an average of 10 new cases each day.”
