Pritzker says state passes New York in per capita daily COVID-19 tests
Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Tuesday afternoon that Illinois has passed New York in per capita daily administration of COVID-19 tests, which he called “significant measurable progress.”
“Among the most populous states, Illinois has now overtaken New York as the No. 1 state in the nation for per capita testing over the last seven days,” Pritzker said, calling it “very exciting news.”
Among all states, Illinois ranks No. 3 in per capita testing, behind Rhode Island and New Mexico, according to data cited by the governor’s office at covidtracking.com. New York ranks sixth behind Connecticut and North Dakota, according to the data.
Pritzker also said all four regions of the state remained on track to enter the next phase of reopening businesses on May 29.
