We're breaking down the trends and relaying information from across the state.

ATLANTA — We're breaking down the trends and relaying information from across the state of Georgia as it comes in, bringing perspective to the data and context to the trends.

Visit the 11Alive coronavirus page for comprehensive coverage, find out what you need to know about Georgia specifically, learn more about the symptoms, and keep tabs on the cases around the world.

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 and to stop it.

While today's data reflects more than 27,000 newly reported cases of COVID-19 within Georgia, the data does not reflect a new record in daily cases for the state. A huge backlog of positive cases, dating back seven to ten days, has been added to today's numbers. These PCR positive and antigen positive backlogged cases were not previously reported by several large laboratories, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.

THE LATEST DATA:

  • As of 2:50 p.m., there have been 26,854 deaths in Georgia, an increase of 21 deaths since Tuesday's report. Over the last 14 days where numbers were reported by DPH, the average daily increase in newly reported deaths was 38.64 deaths each day. Over the previous 14-day period where numbers were reported, the average daily increase in newly reported deaths was 31.36.
  • There have been 1,696,978 cases confirmed in Georgia, an increase of 17,205 since Tuesday's report. Over the last 14 days where numbers were reported by DPH, the average daily increase in newly confirmed cases were 23,296.64 new cases a day. Over the previous 14-day period where numbers were reported, the average daily increase in newly confirmed cases was 5,533.
  • There have been 100,121 total patients hospitalized in Georgia during the pandemic, an increase of 313 since Tuesday, according to the Department of Public Health's cumulative total. Over the last 14 days where numbers were reported, the average daily increase in new patients was 444.86 new patients a day. Over the previous 14-day period where numbers were reported, the average daily increase in new patients was 250.14. 
  • The Georgia Emergency Management Agency began reporting current statewide hospitalizations on May 1. That day they reported 1,500 current hospitalizations. The agency discontinued its daily report on Sept. 5, 2020, pointing instead to the newly created Georgia COVID-19 Data Hub.
  • According to Georgia's new database, as of Jan. 19, there were 5,398 current hospitalizations – a decrease of 22 hospitalizations since Tuesday.
  • In addition, 54% of Georgians are now fully vaccinated, with 8% in-between doses, and 38% still unvaccinated.
