The Northeast Health District added 82 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Sunday Department of Public Health Daily Status Report, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases increased for the sixth day in a row.
The confirmed cases are based on molecular tests, and the Daily Status Report subtracted four cases reported earlier based on the less reliable, rapid, antigen tests.
The Daily Status Report on Sunday did not report any new deaths attributed to the novel corona virus in the 10-county Northeast Health District.
Each of the 10 counties added at least one new confirmed case of COVID-19 based on molecular tests, with Oconee County adding two cases and Clarke County adding nine.
The seven-day rolling average of added confirmed cases in the District increased to 121.1 on Sunday from 119.3 on Saturday. That average had been 100.3 on Monday. The rolling average for Oconee County was unchanged on Sunday and decreased slightly for Clarke County.
The seven-day rolling average of added cases based on antigen tests increased to 49.9 on Sunday from 49.1 on Saturday–even with the loss of four cases. Last Sunday, the Department of Public Health eliminated nine cases it had earlier recorded.
