   Illinois health officials confirm 3rd COVID-19 case in Cook County; will request CDC to deploy team to area
PALATINE, Ill. (WLS) -- A Cook County patient has tested positive for novel coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, bringing the number of confirmed cases in Illinois up to three, according to state health officials.

Health officials said the person's test results will need to be confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but the patient is currently in isolation.

"Public health officials are working to identify and actively monitor individuals who were in contact with the patient in an effort to reduce the risk of additional transmission," the departments said in a statement. "The state of Illinois will request CDC deploy a team to Illinois to support these efforts."
A Chicago husband and wife became the first two cases of coronavirus in Illinois. The woman traveled to Wuhan, China and her husband later became sick. Both were treated at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates and later released to home monitoring.

Health officials said they have made a full recovery.

Coronavirus: What to know about COVID-19 in Illinois, how it's affecting Chicago area

Gov. JB Pritzker has asked hospitals across Illinois to implement additional testing for the virus.

On Saturday, Loyola University Chicago announced its sending students studying abroad in Rome back home over concerns about the novel coronavirus.

School officials said that students must leave its John Felice Rome Center by Wednesday, March 4.

All students will have to stay at home for a 14-day observation period, under guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The university is deferring midterms for returning students and is expected to help offset additional travel costs, officials said.
