COVID-19 Numbers for Macon County August 25, 2021

Numbers released on Wednesday, August 25th, 2021.

Here are the latest COVID-19 numbers Macon Public Health, along with a couple of charts by Macon Media to show you the long-term trends since April 17th, 2020, when the health department started releasing numbers to the public. In June and July, the health department released numbers on a wekly basis on Fridays, and in August has switched back to releasing numbers everyday once it became evident that we were about to see another surge in numbers.

Here is a new chart that may be of some use to the public. It measures the change in the numbers of detected COVID-19 cases from Friday to Friday as a percentage change from the previous Friday. It starts on Friday, May 20th, which saw a 0.57% increase in detected cases over the previous week.
