The seven-day rolling averages of COVID-19 cases and deaths continued to increase in the Northeast Health District with the release of the Department of Public Health Daily Status Report on Sunday.
Sunday traditionally is a day of light reporting, and the 10-county District added only 108 cases, but that figure was up from the 102 reported on Sunday a week ago, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases increased to 227.3 from 226.4 on Saturday.
The Sunday case average is a new record for the District.
Only Greene and Oglethorpe counties did not add cases. Oconee County added nine new COVID-19 cases, and Clarke County added 63.
In the last 14 days, Oconee County has added 107 new cases, and Clarke County has added 1,002.
The Department of Public Health dates added cases by onset of the disease, and 69 of the 107 cases in Oconee County began in the last 14 days, and 1,002 of the 1,259 cases in Clarke County began in the last 14 days.
Those two figures–69 and 1,002–are considered to be the numbers of active cases, and the number of active cases on Saturday were 73 for Oconee County and 1,038 for Clarke County.
The Northeast Health District recorded one new death attributed to COVID-19 on Sunday, of a 75-year-old female in Greene County without a chronic condition.
The seven-day rolling average of added deaths increased to 3.1 from 3.0 on Saturday. The average of 3.1 deaths per day is a new record for the Northeast Health District, which has recorded at least one death from the virus in each of the last six days.
The Department of Public Health on Saturday reported 71 molecular tests in Oconee County, and the seven-day rolling average of positive tests increased to 10.2 on Sunday from 9.5 on Saturday. The average has increased each of the last five days.
In Clarke County, the Daily Status Report listed 528 new molecular tests on Sunday, and the seven-day rolling average of positive tests increased to 19.2 on Sunday from 17.7 on Saturday. The average has increased each of the last eight days.
