Governor Kemp Gives COVID-19 Update
Atlanta, GA - Today Governor Brian P. Kemp delivered the following update on COVID-19. Governor Kemp was joined by Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey, Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency Director Homer Bryson, and Georgia National Guard Adjutant General Tom Carden.
"Good afternoon. Today I'm joined by General Tom Carden, Dr. Kathleen Toomey, and GEMA Director Homer Bryson.
"Before we get started, I want to thank the faith leaders and Georgians who participated in our day of prayer. In our fight against COVID-19, we must continue to pray for our healthcare workforce, frontline workers, law enforcement, and Georgians affected by the coronavirus.
"As of noon today, we have 23,773 confirmed COVID-19 cases with 942 deaths, and a total of 127,169 tests. Through the leadership of public health departments, the National Guard, partnerships with Augusta University, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and others, our testing numbers are quickly increasing but more must be done.
"As of this morning, Georgia ranks 13th among states and territories in the total number of tests, and for per capita testing, we are now 36th overall. In less than one week, Georgia moved up from 42nd in per capita testing to 36th. We still have work to do, and we will keep fighting to improve testing access and capacity.
"From the beginning when we launched the Coronavirus Task Force and held our first press conference we promised to lead with transparency and provide regular updates as we fight this virus together. The Department of Public Health has worked tirelessly to integrate information for testing, hospitalizations, and transmission to keep the public informed. We realized as a team that we can provide a more unified, user-friendly platform for Georgians in every corner of our state.
