That’s more than double Georgia’s daily average this month.But it’s not just more testing. Georgia’s rate of positive tests is also heading back up. That’s when we look at how many tests are positive as compared to the total number of viral tests given.Hospitalizations are also up over the last six days. The dotted line in this graph is our average and the past week – the section in orange – has been above average.
