“I continue to see signs of progress here, but it is too soon to be clearly saying that we’re turning around,” Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said.
While Chicago is still seeing a huge number of COVID-19 infections on a daily basis, Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said Tuesday there are some encouraging signs that cases are starting to decline, though she warned it’s too soon to say the latest surge has reached its peak.
Arwady said case rates in Chicago are still “extremely high,” but she said she’s encouraged that the rate of infection appears to be slowing. The number of ICU beds and ventilators in use for COVID-19 patients remain below the levels seen during the first two waves of the pandemic in 2020, and Arwady said that is because of how many people have been vaccinated, putting them at lower risk of severe illness. She also noted the vast majority of COVID patients currently on ventilators in Chicago are infected with the Omicron variant and are not vaccinated.
