The Georgia Department of Health does not track the number of recoveries because it cannot accurately quantify the number at this time, according to a spokesperson.

The GDH released a statement regard the sharp increase in cases:

"The numbers of cases and deaths from COVID-19 have steadily increased in Georgia and around the country in recent days. These numbers are dramatic, and the grief over loved ones lost to the virus is unfathomable. With more testing, the numbers will continue to increase.

Without question, these numbers also tell us that COVID-19 is widespread throughout Georgia. The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is calling on all Georgians to do their part to stop further spread of this deadly virus."

There are only 4 counties in Georgia that are not reporting any confirmed cases of coronavirus: Taliaferro, Glascock, Montgomery and Evans counties.
