“If you haven’t been paying attention, maybe this is your wakeup call,” said Illinois Department Of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike.
a news release“I know how difficult this news can be, especially about this very young child,” Gov. J. B. Pritzker said. “Upon hearing it, I admit I was immediately shaken, and it’s appropriate for any of us to grieve today.”
Illinois implemented a stay-at-home order on March 21. Pritzker said the state has been working to procure essential medical equipment for front-line workers and amp up its testing capabilities. “We want everyone in Illinois to take COVID-19 seriously,” Ezike said. “If you haven’t been paying attention, maybe this is your wakeup call.”
Although the virus is more likely to cause deaths in adults, children who tested positive for COVID-19 have also died. Infant death has been an especially rare occurrence, butat least one 10-month-old infant in Wuhan died in a hospital after being diagnosed. “We should grieve,” Pritzker said. “We should grieve with our family of the state employees. With the many people already lost to this virus, young and old. We should grieve for the loss of a sense of normalcy we left behind just a few weeks ago. It’s ok today to grieve.”
