Northeast Health District Reports 59 Confirmed COVID-19 Cases On Sunday, The Smallest Number In Nearly A Month

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

The Northeast Health District added 59 confirmed COVID-19 cases on Sunday, the smallest number it has added going back to July 12, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases dropped to 151.0 from 156.4 on Saturday.

The Department of Public Health reported that Oconee County added five cases and Clarke County added 20. Two counties–Greene and Oglethorpe–did not add any cases.

The Daily Status Report of the Department of Public Health did not list any deaths attributable to COVID-19 on Sunday, and the seven-day rolling average of added deaths remained unchanged at 1.7.

The District also did not add any COVID-19 deaths last Sunday.

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency reported Sunday that area hospitals had seven Critical Care Beds not in use out of the 70-bed capacity.

That figure is unchanged from the Agency’s report on Saturday.

State Data

The Department of Public Health reported that the state added 3,177 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases increased from 3,386.4 on Saturday to 3,387.1 on Sunday.
