Coronavirus Milestone Hit In Suburban Cook County, Glenview

GLENVIEW, IL — Like every other municipality in Illinois, the Village of Glenview has been dealing with its own unique data points regarding the coronavirus. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner, 101 people have died due to COVID-19 in Glenview since April 7, 2020. The last death happened on March 8. The most deaths in a single day since the pandemic began was four on April 14 and Dec. 11.

It was announced Thursday that an important milestone had been reached in the fight against COVID-19 in suburban Cook County, according to the Cook County Department of Health. The number of people fully-vaccinated has surpassed the total number of COVID-19 cases. A total of 239,327 people, or 10.5 percent of the population, have received both doses of the vaccine, eclipsing the 217,753 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county, according to a release

Additionally, 459,570 residents, or 20.2 percent of the population have received at least one dose of the vaccine, while the rate of confirmed cases in suburban Cook County has been declining since mid-January.

“This has been a long year for everybody, and we sensed the light at the end of the tunnel when the first vaccine arrived in December. But with three vaccines now and a county-wide system to equitably and efficiently administer many more doses in the future, we can now also see that light getting closer,” said Dr. Rachel Rubin, Senior Public Health Medical Officer and Co-Lead, Cook County Department of Public Health, in a release. “Passing that awful figure of total cases allows us to pause and salute everyone who has been a part of our efforts in CCDPH and to thank every resident for their patience.”

Since March 1, 2021, nearly 200,000 doses have been administered across suburban Cook County. About 70 percent of the age 65 and over population has received at least one dose of vaccine.
