The seven-day rolling averages of COVID-19 cases and of deaths increased on Saturday in the 10-county Northeast Health District of the Georgia Department of Public Health with the addition of 190 new confirmed cases and of three deaths attributed to the disease.
The three deaths were of a 52-year male in Jackson County with a chronic condition, a 73-year-old male in Jackson County without a chronic condition, and a 65-year-old female in Madison County without a known chronic condition.
The seven-day rolling average of added deaths increased to 1.7 on Saturday from 1.3 on Friday.
Deaths in the Northeast Health District began to increase after July 7, and a comparison of the deaths up to that date and following shows that the age of the deceased has dropped dramatically.
Prior to and including July 7, only seven of the 108 deaths (6.5 percent) were of someone less than 60 years old. After July 7, eight of the 38 deaths (21.1 percent) were of persons less than 60 years of age.
Race, gender and whether the person had a chronic condition did not change much after July 7, though the race is known for fewer of the deceased after that date.
Every county in the 10-county Northeast Health District added at least three COVID-19 cases on Saturday, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases increased to 156.4 from 155.0 on Friday.
