State data discrepancies

The Illinois Department of Public Health's update did not match information from the St. Clair County Health Department for 20 long-term care centers on Friday.

The Department of Public Health said there were more cases or deaths at the locations, including three facilities where St. Clair County had not reported an outbreak as of Friday.

The BND has not included numbers announced by the state in calculating totals if a county health department reports lower numbers.

The state relies on health departments for the information it reports and says on its website that the local agencies will have "the most up-to-date data."

Health departments and individual facilities in the metro-east have previously said the state's data was off.

The BND uses Illinois Department of Public Health data when local health officials do not provide updates.
