03/24/20 Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH) releases two updates concerning Covid-19 each day.
Their daily reports include a map showing each county in Georgia. Below the map among other information, such as number of tests given and cases by sex and age is the number of verified cases for each county.
For the first time Tuesday, March 24, Fannin County was shaded pale green, meaning 1-38 cases. BRMNews refrained from posting an announcement due to the possibility of an error. Fannin County was not listed with the other counties below indicating the number of confirmed cases. Which was the mistake?
GDPH updates precisely at the exact times they list for their updates. At 7 PM Tuesday evening, Fannin County was still in green on the map and now was listed below the map with the number one. While rumors had been spinning, even to the number of cases, officially Fannin County had 1 case confirmed and possibly others still awaiting confirmation.
Meetings have been called for the City of Blue Ridge and Fannin County Board of Commissioners for Wednesday. The City of McCaysville announced their plans to control the spread of Covid-19 during a video conference announcement Tuesday afternoon.
​
BRMNews will continue to monitor GDPH updates and relay any new information to our readers.
