One person also died, a woman in her 80s who lived in Peoria County who had comorbidities.
98 of the new cases were Peoria County residents, while 77 were from Tazewell, and 17 lived in Woodford.
111 people remained in area hospitals with the virus, the same hospitalization count as Tuesday. 32 of the 111 were in intensive care.
