Tennessee reported 780 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, the second consecutive day the state reported fewer than 1,000 new cases, and the first time that’s occurred since September of last year.

The state’s average number of new infections over the past seven days, meanwhile, has dropped to 1,416 per day, the lowest rate since Oct. 4. That average hasn’t fallen below 1,000 since June.

Active cases saw an overall decline of five, though three counties (Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington) reported an increase in active cases.
