State and federal officials with the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are continually monitoring the spread of the virus. They are also working hand-in-hand with the World Health Organization to track the spread around the world.
Since Thursday's last report, Georgia suffered another 133 confirmed deaths to COVID-19. The Peach State is averaging around 130 deaths per day, a staggering 165% increase in the last month.
