Sangamon County reported 107 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday, marking the fourth consecutive day the county confirmed more than 100 positive tests for the coronavirus. Over the last seven days, the county has averaged 102 new cases of COVID-19 daily as the delta variant continues to surge.
Currently, 52.08% of Sangamon County’s population is fully vaccinated, based on data from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
If you’re planning to attend a show at the UIS Performing Arts Center this fall, be prepared to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test.
That’s just one of the precautions being put in place by UIS amid an ongoing surge of new COVID cases. Attendance at Sangamon Auditorium events is being limited to 1,000… which is 50-percent capacity. Concession stands will be closed, although patrons can bring bottled water into shows.
