ATLANTA — Georgia added 3,660 COVID-19 cases and 109 related deaths Wednesday.

The increase in deaths marks the second highest increase only a day after the state saw its largest increase of deaths on record.

According to the Georgia Department of Public Health’s daily status report, the state has reported 226,153 coronavirus cases and 4,456 deaths. 

Last week, Georgia surpassed both 200,000 COVID-19 cases and 4,000 deaths.

It took less than a month for Georgia to double its positive case count — on July 7, total cases topped 100,000.

As of Wednesday, 21,379 Georgians have been hospitalized since the beginning of the pandemic and 3,929 admitted to intensive care units. The state reported 348 new hospitalizations Wednesday.

According to the Georgia Emergency Management Center, 2,865 Georgians are currently hospitalized. 

The state has conducted more than 1.91 million viral tests and is reporting a 10.8% positive rate.

More than 245,000 Georgians have had antibody tests conducted — that show past signs of infection — with the state reporting a 6.9% positive rate.

Georgians ages 18 to 29 are now the prominent age group for reported infections, while Georgians ages 50 and older still report significantly more deaths.
