To the right is a graph of confirmed cases of COVID-19 for residents of the 31411 zip code (only counts cases for residents, not visitors).
Last week we had 22 new confirmed COVID cases for island residents, which puts our Community Transmission Index at about 400 – the numbers are higher than anything we’ve seen since the start of the pandemic and four times the threshold for being in the HIGH range for CTI. The two prior peaks were July 18, 2020 (21 cases) and January 30, 2021 (20 cases).
Other metrics: One of the best measure of the infections in our area is the current number of hospitalizations. These charts are updated daily and give a good idea of how well the pandemic is being contained. Scroll to the bottom chart to see the current hospitalizations in Savannah – St Josephs, Candler, and Memorial – they are nearly, if not already out of ICU beds for new patients.
