The events coincided with the lowest weekly average of COVID cases in Fulton County since last March during the onset of the pandemic locally.
On June 2, the 7-day average of cases in the county was 33, the lowest figure reported since March 26, 2020, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. Twenty-three cases were reported in Fulton County June 2, down from a peak of more than 800 new daily cases in early January.
The availability and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, some of which have been distributed by the cityâs first responders through a partnership with Miltonâs ReVue Pharmacy, has been a vital factor in reducing the number of cases. The vaccines and low case figures spurred the city to reinstate community gatherings after several â including Miltonâs marquee events â were cancelled over safety concerns amid the pandemic.
