Northeast Health District Adds Fewest New Confirmed COVID-19 Cases in Two Weeks

***No New COVID-19 Deaths Recorded***

The Northeast Health District added 64 confirmed COVID-19 cases on Sunday with the release of the Department of Public Health Daily Status Report, the smallest number of cases added since 50 were recorded on July 12.

Sunday usually is a light day of reporting, but 99 cases were added a week ago, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases dropped to 128.9 on Sunday from 133.9 on Saturday.

The Daily Status Report also listed no new deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the 10-county Northeast Health District on Sunday, and the seven-day rolling average of added deaths was 1.0, up from 0.9 on Saturday.

On Sunday of last week the Department of Public Health had removed from the list one death previously reported in the Northeast Health District.

Every county in the Northeast Health District except Greene added at least one confirmed COVID-19 case on Sunday.

Oconee County added two cases, and Clarke County added 10.

In the last 21 days, Oconee County has added 157 cases and Clarke County has added 735. These numbers are broad indicators of the number of active cases in the two counties.

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency in its Situation Report COVID-19 on Saturday afternoon listed 10 Critical Care Beds available in area hospitals, down from 11 on Saturday but up from 0 on Friday.

State Data

Across the state, the Department of Public Health on Sunday listed 2,765 new COVID-19 confirmed cases, the lowest number since Monday, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases dropped from 3616.6 on Saturday to 3,545.9 on Sunday.

The Sunday total number of added cases was more than 2,000 less than on Friday.

The Daily Status Report listed three new deaths attributed to COVID-19 across the state, and the seven-day rolling average of added deaths was virtually unchanged from Saturday.

The Department of Public Health removed one death previously listed as having occurred on July 15, so the actual number of added deaths was four, not three.

All four of those deaths occurred in the last 14 days.

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency listed 3,079 Current Confirmed COVID-19 Hospitalizations in the state, down by 15 from Saturday. The number of current COVID-19 hospitalizations has dropped four days running.

The Agency also reported that the number of ventilators in use dropped to 1,198 in the Sunday report, down 55 from the day earlier.

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