The Northeast Health District added 113 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday with the release of the Department of Public Health Daily Status Report, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases dropped for the 10th day in a row.
Eight of the 10 counties in the District added cases, with Morgan and Greene counties the exception.
Oconee County added five cases and Clarke County added 36 cases, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases in each county dropped–to 4.6 in Oconee County and 28.6 in Clarke County. Those averages had been 5.6 and 31.4 respectively on Wednesday.
Across the District, the seven-day rolling average dropped from 94.3 on Wednesday to 91.4 on Thursday.
The District added no new deaths attributed to COVID-19 with the release of the Daily Status Report, and the seven-day rolling average of added deaths dropped from 2.1 on Wednesday to 1.9 on Thursday.
The Department of Community Health’s Long-Term Care Facility Report for Thursday contained no new cases of COVID-19 among residents or staff of the area’s long-term care facilities, and no new deaths attributed to the corona virus.
The Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) reported on Thursday that area hospitals had 62 COVID-19 patients, down from 66 on Tuesday, 63 ICU beds in use out of a capacity of 70, up from 61 on Wednesday, and 27 adult ventilators in use, down from 31 on Wednesday.
The Department of Public Health’s data on tests in Oconee and Clarke counties once again appear to be in error.
The report lists only one test in Oconee County and only 15 in Clarke County and shows the percentage of those tests that were positive as zero. Data for earlier days are radically different from the data in the report on Wednesday, suggesting the file was corrupted, as it was on Tuesday.
