MID-MONTH COVID-19 UPDATE

COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Georgia and across the country, and studies show that transmission is occurring primarily through small gatherings. Here locally District 4 reports a rise in cases in multiple counties following Halloween particularly among school-aged children. The case count for teachers has remained stable.
