ATLANTA - Georgians will be struggling with new challenges from the coronavirus pandemic as they settle into their New Year routine this week. From high hospitalizations to a possible post-holiday spike in cases to how state and federal governments plan to respond to it all, 2021 will bring new hurdles in the fight in the coronavirus pandemic.
Data compiled by Johns Hopkins University showed the U.S. surpassed 350,000 deaths from the virus early Sunday and earlier this week that more than 20 million people in the country have been infected. As of Sunday at 3 p.m., the Georgia Department of Public Health reports 9,893 confirmed and 1,071 probable deaths from the virus. The GDPH said there have been 587,076 confirmed cases in the state since the start of the pandemic.
