The graph above depicts the number of COVID-19 related deaths within Georgia since January 1, 2022.

More than 100 lives were lost to COVID-19 in Georgia since Thursday's last report, with the Peach State now suffering an average of 90 to 100 COVID-19 related deaths a day. Georgia is consequently growing closer to reaching 30,000 total deaths due to the virus since the pandemic first began.

The graph above depicts the total number of coronavirus-related hospitalizations within Georgia since Nov. 22, 2021.

Data shows hospitalizations, however, are on the decline. Georgia saw a spike in cases and hospitalizations following the 2021 holiday season and the spread of the omicron variant. Total COVID-19 hospitalizations within the Peach State have already dropped below half of the CDC's COVID-19 patient percentage recommendations. Still, Georgia's hospitals have not quite yet reached pre-Thanksgiving patient numbers.

THE LATEST DATA:

  • As of 3:45 p.m., there have been 29,632 deaths in Georgia, an increase of 102 deaths since Thursday's report.
