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.
With 124 new COVID-19 related deaths confirmed since Friday's last report, the Peach State continues to see a high number of fatalities. That being said, total hospitalizations are on the decline.
The graph above shows the number of hospitalizations compared to the number of new cases reported.
With just under 2,000 total COVID-19 patients in Georgia hospitals, hospitalizations related to the virus now represent roughly 13% of total hospital patients across the Peach State. The CDC said a COVID-19 patient percentage of 20% or higher is considered a statewide strain on medical resources.
