In response to public interest, the Kane County Health Department (KCHD) has launched a database dashboard about COVID-19 disease on the KCHD website at KaneHealth.com.
This dashboard tracks positive COVID-19 cases for Kane County and by community, as well as reported deaths for the county. The dashboard also breaks down positive cases by age, gender, confirmed cases by date of onset, and confirmed cases by municipality. The information is updated daily by 5 p.m.
If you think you have the symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, and difficulty breathing), please stay at home and CALL your doctor or health provider first to report a suspected illness. Your health care provider will order testing. COVID-19 tests are NOT done at the Kane County Health Department.
As in all viral cases, you should wash your hands frequently, avoid interacting with people who are sick and make sure you are up to date on your immunizations.
