Northeast Health District Adds 99 New COVID-19 Cases On Sunday, And Seven-Day Rolling Average Of New Cases Increases

***No New COVID-19 Deaths Reported***

The 10-county Northeast Health District of the Department of Public Health added 99 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 with the issuance of the Daily Status Report on Sunday, including six in Oconee County and 33 in Clarke County.

The seven-day rolling average of added cases increased to 129.1, a new record. The rolling average had been 122.1 on Saturday.

Only Oglethorpe County among the 10 counties in the District did not add a case on Sunday.

The Daily Status did not add any new deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the Sunday Daily Status report, and, in fact, removed a death added to the Saturday report in Barrow County.

The Saturday report had listed a 38-year-old White male in Barrow County among those who had died because of the disease, and the Sunday report did not list any person of that description among the deaths in the state.

The Department of Public Health removed one person who it had reported as dying on July 17 from its file of fatalities for an unspecified reason.

The seven-day rolling average of added deaths for the Northeast Health District remained unchanged at 1.0 because the Department of Public Health also removed one death in Barrow County from its file on Sunday a week ago. That case was transferred to Gwinnett County.

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency on Sunday reported that five Critical Care Beds were available at area hospitals, down from 12 on Saturday. The area has 70 critical care beds.

State Data

The State of Georgia added 3,251 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 with the release of the Daily Status Report on Sunday, and the seven-day rolling average increased to 3,742.4, a new record. The rolling average had been 3,638.7 on Saturday.

The state added five deaths with the release of Sunday’s Daily Status Report, the same number added on Sunday a week ago, and the seven-day rolling average remained unchanged at 24.6 added deaths per day.

The state removed the one case from Barrow County from its list of deaths from COVID-19, so the real number of added deaths was six, not five.

Four of those six deaths were in the last 14 days, and the seven-day rolling average based on date of death rather than date of reporting decreased on Sunday.

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency Situation Report COVID-19 on Sunday reported 3,036 Current Confirmed COVID-19 Hospitalizations, up by 107 from the day before and a new record going back to May 1 when these data were first released to the public.

The Situation Report listed 1,109 ventilators in use on Sunday, down from 1,130 on Saturday.

The Department of Community Health did not release a Long-Term Care Facility Report on Sunday.
