According to the COVID-19 Event Risk Assessment Planning Tool developed by Georgia Tech, if you attend an event in Bulloch with 10 people there is a 10% risk of one person in the group being COVID positive. In Evans it is 13% and Candler there is a 32% risk of someone in the group is COVID positive.
