First death in DuPage County
The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) announces the first death of a DuPage County resident who tested positive for coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The individual was a long-term care facility resident in her 90s with underlying conditions who tested positive earlier this month.
“We are saddened by this news of the first death in a DuPage County resident,” said DCHD Executive Director Karen Ayala. “We express our deepest condolences to her family, friends and caregivers. This underscores the need for us all to take necessary precautions to help prevent spread of COVID-19, especially to the most vulnerable members of our community.”
DCHD reminds everyone that nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other long-term care facilities have the highest risk populations due to their age and underlying medical conditions.
DCHD continues to discourage testing for individuals who are mildly or not sick at all. If you are sick, please stay home except to get medical care.
Across Illinois, the age of cases now ranges from younger than one to 99 years. The number of cases in DuPage County as well as the most up-to-date information can be found on the DCHD website, www.dupagehealth.org/covid19.
The number of COVID-19 cases being reported continues to rise, partly because of the increase in
testing by commercial and hospital laboratories. Because testing is becoming more available in these
labs, IDPH will prioritize testing for our most severely ill and at-risk populations, such as
hospitalized patients with severe acute lower respiratory illness and those who live and work in
nursing homes and other congregate facilities.
