Bulloch reports death of a 78 year old white female with no comorbidities as 27th COVID-10 Death, Candler reports death of 90+ year old white male with comorbidities as 18th COVID-19 death.

Bulloch County COVID positive numbers continue trending downward. This is a very positive trend that we must work as a community to continue to see improvement. Our positive rates of cases and testing remain high. But they are dropping significantly.
