The latest Trump administration report on the coronavirus in Georgia says the state is making some modest progress in fighting the pandemic.

The White House Coronavirus Task Force report, obtained by WABE, says Georgia was seventh in the country for new COVID-19 cases for every 100,000 people in the week leading up to Aug. 30. In previous weeks, the state was first and second in the U.S. for new infections.
