Georgia Among 47 States Seeing Troubling Rise In COVID Infections

Georgia’s color-coded county map has begun to show shades that reflect an uptick of COVID cases.

And the state’s graph that tracks daily infections has turned upward after a June bottom.

The state, along with 46 others, has seen an increase of COVID infections over the past two weeks, according to New York Times data. Georgia’s 143 percent rise over the last two weeks exceeds the U.S. average of 94 percent.
