ATLANTA, GA – The amount of coronavirus would possibly stabilize in Georgia, but even the White House doesn’t think the state is out of danger yet.
In the most recent report of the White House Coronavirus Working Group, published Monday, Georgia remains in the red zone in cases consistent with the population, ranked 14th in the United States.
“We see fewer patients in our hospitals,” Dr. Danny Branstetter of Wellstar Health System told Matt Johnson of WSB-TV. “It’s all right. But we still see patients seriously. “
According to the White House report, 75% of Georgia counties enjoy moderate to high levels of network outreach.
In the absence of effective tactile research, tracking wastewater can be a way to detect early coronavirus outbreaks.
Both this week’s White House report and last week’s report advised wastewater for coronavirus, and according to WXIA-TV in Atlanta, researchers at the University of Georgia are already doing just that in Athens.
Dr. Erin Lipp of the UGA School of Public Health told the Atlanta television channel that the coronavirus gave the impression of being excreted through faeces in the early stages of infection, meaning that its appearance in wastewater cans awaits an epidemic about a week later.
“It’s wonderful to get a sense of what’s going on in a community,” Lipp said.
