According to the state Department of Public Health, a total of 4,702 people have died in Georgia since the pandemic began.
On Sunday, the state added 1,862 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the statewide total to 237,030 cases.
In the six Southeast Georgia counties tracked by News4Jax, 98 new cases were reported Sunday: 39 in Charlton County, 25 in Glynn County, 19 in Ware County, 11 in Camden County, three in Pierce County and one in Brantley County.
As of Sunday, the total number of hospitalizations statewide stood at 22,087 — 59 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.
More than 2 million people have been tested in the state, which had a 10.7% positivity rate, as of Sunday.
