Ga DPH: Athens adds another COVID death

Athens adds another coronavirus death in the latest report from the Georgia Department of Public Health. The total since March of last year climbs to 78. Oconee County’s COVID 19 death toll holds steady at 42.

The University of Georgia’s COVID Response Committee meets this morning: the ad hoc committee that is tracking coronavirus on campus convenes in a virtual session that is set to start at 10 o’clock.

Coronavirus vaccinations began Tuesday in Jackson County: they are set to begin tomorrow morning in Madison County: public health officials in Danielsville say appointments are required for those wanting to receive the COVID vaccine.

A coronavirus case shuts down another courthouse, this one in Stone Mountain. And for a second straight year, the Cherry Blossom Festival in Brookhaven is canceled because of COVID.
