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.

As of Thursday, it seems fairly safe to say that Georgia's average number of new COVID cases has peaked during the omicron wave.

The graph below shows the state's highest averages around late December and early January. In the last couple of weeks, the number of total cases has been on a steady, downward decline.
