The latest tally provided by the Georgia Department of Public Health for June 4 saw seven new cases of COVID-19 reported for Polk County, bringing the total up to 138. Statewide, it seems the positives aren’t slowing down just yet either.

Though the number of deaths and hospitalizations heading into the tail-end of the first full week of June. According to the DPH figures now released just once daily, the total number of people who have tested positive for the virus now stands at 49,847 – that’s an an increase of 953 in the past 24 hours.

Yet the number of people admitted for treatment to a hospital sits at 8,557, and the deaths increased only slightly to 2,174 who have perished due to COVID-19.

That slowdown also is reflected in the number of new ICU patients admitted due to complications from the virus, standing at 1,872, which is only 31 new patients.

Where the increases are being shown still at a good rate is in the number of positive cases, and the number of tests. That figure increased by more than 20,000 again in the June 4 report to 590,957 tests conducted for the virus.
