ATLANTA, GA – The Georgia Department of Public Health reported that a total of 253949 showed instances of COVID-19 at 2:50 p.m. Sunday. According to the Department of Health’s website, these 1,739 new cases showed instances in the last 24 hours.
Georgia has also reported 5,132 deaths to date after COVID-19, with 42 more deaths recorded in the past 24 hours. In addition, the state reported 23,369 hospitalizations – 44 more than the following day – and 4,251 admissions to extensive care sets to date.
No data are available in Georgia on the number of patients cured.
Counties on or near the Atlanta Metro continue to have the number of positives, with Fulton County still at the forefront.
Counties in or near the Atlanta Metro also continue to have the highest death toll by COVID-19. The only exception is Dougherty County, from Georgia’s first primary outbreak.
On Sunday, Georgia administered more than 2.4 million COVID-19 tests, and about 11% of those tests were the least used to detect antibodies.
For reliable maximum control of the virus itself, 10.6% of the controls yielded positive results. For less reliable antibody testing, 7.4% tested positive. The overall positive rate is around 10.2%.
While more and more Georgians have been monitored over the following month, the percentage of positive controls has increased slightly, from about 8% to more than 10%. However, in recent weeks, the percentage of positives has stabilized by just over 10%. According to the World Health Organization, the effects of positive controls do not exceed 5% for two weeks before reopening as usual. Georgia reopened largely in April and May, and since then Governor Brian Kemp has strongly refused to demand the use of face masks.
All Georgia statistics can be obtained on the state’s COVID-19 website.
Worldwide, more than 23 million other people tested positive for COVID-19 and more than 806,000 people died, Johns Hopkins University reported Sunday.
In the United States, nearly 5.7 million more people were inflamed and more than 176,000 people died from COVID-19 on Sunday. The United States has only about 4% of the world’s population, yet it showed more cases and deaths than any other country.
