The graphs below represents a Fayette County report of cases over time in the first graph, and Fayette deaths over time just below that.


Graphs below show statewide cases over time and Covid-19 deaths over time. According to DPH, the Covid-19 cases over time “is meant to aid understanding whether the outbreak is growing, leveling off, or declining and can help to guide the Covid-19 response.”


Below is a DPH chart of Covid-19-related deaths that have occurred in Fayette County since the start of the pandemic. The chart now lists a total of 13 deaths, with two new victims added May 26. The two new deaths are a male, age 89, with unknown underlying medical conditions; and a female, age 83, with known underlying medical problems. The list of victims includes 8 males — 89 the oldest and 63 the youngest — and 5 females — 85 the oldest and 64 the youngest. The chart lists from left to right the age of the victim, the sex, the county, and yes or no or unknown as to whether the victim had an underlying medical condition:


Total test-confirmed cases statewide: 44,421 which is 691 more cases than the previous day’s total of 43,730, an increase of 1.5%. All of Georgia’s 159 counties are now reporting coronavirus cases. For perspective, more testing results in more cases being reported, which does not necessarily indicate whether a pandemic is increasing or decreasing in intensity.

Statewide deaths: 1,907, an increase of 36 fatalities over the previous day’s total of 1,871.

State Covid-19 death rate: 4.2% of all confirmed cases reported, slightly over 4 deaths for every 100 test-confirmed cases.

Fayette County: Confirmed infections  — 235 cases (5 more cases than the 230 reported on the previous day) with 13 deaths. Fayette’s confirmed case rate: 199.93 cases per 100,000 persons. Fayette death rate per 100,000 population: 11.1. Hospitalizations: 36. Fayette has reported 58 new cases since May 1, an average of 2.1 new cases per day through today. The new cases per day average is rising slightly as May comes to a close.

Coweta County: Confirmed infections  — 391 (11 more new cases than the previous day’s 380) with 8 deaths. Coweta’s confirmed case rate: 257.24 cases per 100,000 persons. Coweta death rate per 100,000 population: 5.3. Hospitalizations: 50. New cases in Coweta have nearly doubled since May 1. DPH reports 391 cases as of May 27. That’s 188 more cases than the 203 reported on May 1, an increase of nearly 93%. Coweta is averaging 6.9 new cases every day so far this month, more than three times the case per day average in Fayette. However, the number of deaths (8) and the number of total hospitalizations in Coweta so far (50) suggest that the vast majority of new cases do not warrant hospital treatment.

Hospitalized: 7,666 cumulative total of all Covid-19 hospitalizations statewide from the beginning of the pandemic to today, which is 17.2% of the total cumulative confirmed cases to date, compared to 7,547 cumulative total one day earlier, an increase of 119 newly hospitalized patients (increase of 1.5% over the previous day) across the state of Georgia. The data do not indicate how many patients that were admitted on previous days are actually still being treated in hospitals today.

Intensive care unit admissions: 1,735, which is 32 more new ICU patients than the previous day’s report of 1,703 across all reporting hospitals in Georgia.

Total coronavirus tests: 518,591 by private and state labs, which represents 3,646 (0.7%) more tests than the 514,945 tests in the previous report.

Total positive tests:  44,421 confirmations so far with all testing from both commercial and state labs, a positive confirmation rate of 8.5% of the total tests administered. The positive confirmation rate is now less than 1 out of 10, meaning that more than 9 out of every 10 tests shows no presence of coronavirus.
