As of Sunday, according to the state Department of Public Health, the total number of hospitalizations statewide stood at 15,010 -- 49 of which were reported in the last 24 hours. The state admits the total number of hospitalizations is likely an underestimation since it only counted if it was at the time the case was reported to DPH. The number also does not represent the number of people currently hospitalized.
Testing in Georgia has ramped up considerably. As of Sunday, nearly 1.26 million people had been tested in the state, which had a 10.4% positivity rate.
It’s worth noting that our increases don’t match the increases on the DPH’s dashboard. We track the increases in a 24-hour period.
