April was an encouraging month for the state of Georgia, Upson County, and Upson’s adjacent counties as COVID numbers showed a steady decline across the board.
Upson’s confirmed cases dropped from 60 in March to 45 in April, which tied the record low set in October 2020. The total cases for all of the local counties combined dropped from 296 in March to 243 in April, which set the record for the lowest combined case count to date.
Upson’s death toll declined from 7 in March to 4 in April, and the combined counties’ death toll declined from 44 down to 16.
Upson’s average 2-week test positivity, which was 6.7% in March, went down to 5.3% in April, but that wasn’t quite low enough to take Upson out of the Yellow Zone. Nearby counties Pike, Lamar, Meriwether and Spalding Counties also remain in the Yellow Zone, but four neighbors have moved all the way up to the Green Zone: Monroe, Crawford, Taylor and Talbot Counties.
