State excluding Champaign County from Region 6 data because of UI testing – Champaign News-Gazette

While the state is excluding Champaign County data because of the UI, Awais Vaid, deputy administrator at the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, said the health district has “never viewed campus as separate from the community. Most of the faculty, staff and graduate students are yearlong residents of our community, and even the undergraduates spend (the) majority of their time during the year in our community and contribute extensively.”
