The Northeast Health District saw a small drop in the rolling average of added cases of COVID-19 with the release of the Tuesday Daily Status Report and no change in the rolling average of added deaths from the disease.
The Department of Public Health reported 99 new cases of COVID-19 in the 10-county Northeast Health District, compared with 107 on Tuesday of last week, and the seven-day rolling average of added cases dropped to 80.7 from 81.9 on Monday.
The Daily Status Report contained no new COVID-19 deaths in the Northeast Health District on Tuesday, the same as a week ago, and the seven-day rolling average of added deaths remained at 2.1.
The District has 822 confirmed deaths from the coronavirus.
Oconee County added 17 cases on Tuesday, and Clarke County added 12. The seven-day rolling average of added cases in Oconee County increased to 8.0 from 6.4 on Monday, while in Clarke County it dropped to 16.0 from 16.7 on Monday.
North Oconee High School Principal Philip Brown on Monday and again on Tuesday evening informed parents of students at the school of an “individual” who had tested positive for COVID-19.
Brown had informed parents of two “individuals” at the school who had tested positive in an email on Sunday and has sent out notes about 17 positive tests since the first of the month and 23 going back to Feb. 22.
The counts are based on email messages forwarded to me by parents, as Oconee County Schools does not release data to the public on the location of positive tests in the system.
The Department of Community Health, in Tuesday’s Long-Term Care Facility Report, listed one new case of COVID-19 at Mulberry Grove personal care home in Barrow County.
The Long-Term Care Facility Report listed no new cases among staff of the 40 facilities in the Northeast Health District covered by the report, and no deaths from the disease.
The added resident case at the Barrow County personal care home was the first in the District since March 8.
