For the maximum reliability control of the virus itself, 10. 3% of the controls yielded positive results; for less reliable antibody control, 8% produced positive results.
While more and more Georgians have been revised over the next month, the percentage of positive controls has increased slightly, from around 8% to more than 10%. However, in recent weeks, the percentage of positives has stabilized by just over 10% and is now slowly starting to decline. According to the World Health Organization, positive control effects 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 encouraged the use of masks, but has categorically refused to force them.
All Georgia statistics are available on the state’s COVID-19 website.
