Dr Memark urges caution amid incredible surge

The spread of the coronavirus is higher than ever in Cobb, warns Cobb-Douglas Public Health. Cobb and Douglas counties are seeing “an incredible surge” with their highest numbers of cases per capita and record hospitalizations, Dr. Janet Memark, the director of the public health agency, told residents in an email. Cobb’s current case rate is 656 per 100,000 people in the last two weeks, the highest since the start of the pandemic. And, that number does not include positive results from rapid antigen tests. Public health officials consider anything above 100 per 100,000 to be high community transmission. Thursday, Georgia broke its record for the highest number of COVID-19 cases reported in one day, with 8,551. Cobb County saw a jump of 625 new cases Thursday, just under the county’s latest record of 626 Christmas Eve.
