There have been 366 COVID-19 related deaths in Forsyth since mid-March 2020, including five in April.
There were 261 cases listed for Forsyth since the last report Friday, including 58 reported Sunday. The total case count is at 34,066.
Because DHHS no longer provides a daily COVID-19 metrics dashboard on the weekends, it is not clear on which days the other 203 cases were reported for Forsyth.
Going into the weekend, Forsythâs new daily case counts had remained below 100 for at 39 consecutive days.
DHHS lists COVID-19 cases and deaths on the day they are confirmed by medical providers and public health officials so people may have been infected or have died days before their cases were counted.

CUMMING, Ga. â Officials with Forsyth County Schools are questioning a formula for federal stimulus funds they say is lopsided and unfairly penalizes the district based on the makeup of its student population.
Georgiaâs public schools have received nearly $6 billion in federal stimulus funds in the past year aimed at helping K-12 schools respond and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The school-based funding has been included in three separate stimulus bills approved by Congress over the past year.
The first two rounds under then-President Donald Trump were referred to as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act; the second under President Joe Biden were included in the recently-approved American Rescue Plan.
