COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - March 11 marked one year since the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a global pandemic and changed the way we live.
At this time a year ago, there were zero coronavirus cases in Muscogee County. That would soon come March 19, 2020. The entire state of Georgia only had 31 COVID-19 cases on this day last year.
Now, things look much different and a year ago, many people in Columbus didn’t know what to expect.
