This report examines patients with influenza-like illness symptoms who were simultaneously tested for SARS-CoV-2 and the above panel from March 12, 2020, through April 15, 2020. During the observed period, 2,535 specimens were simultaneously tested for SARS-CoV-2 and RP pathogens on 2,458 symptomatic patients. Notably, the median age of coinfected patients was nearly 20 years younger than those only infected with SARS-CoV-2. During the study period, the Illinois Department of Public Health noted a decline in influenza tests positivity from 14.9% to 1.6% between the weeks ending March 14, 2020, and April 11, 2020, respectively.
