Atlanta, GA - Yesterday nearly 13,000 new tests were reported to the Georgia Department of Public Health's website, recording the largest single day in new tests reported since the coronavirus pandemic began. View the report here.

"Two weeks ago, I told Georgians we were not testing enough in our state and that we would make every effort to boost testing capacity," said Governor Kemp. "It is clear we are making significant progress. We have dramatically increased the number of testing sites with forty-nine now available across the state in partnership with our university system, the private sector, local public health officials, and nine additional Georgia Guard testing sites. We are pushing our testing capacity to the max. Yesterday I asked all Georgians who are experiencing symptoms to schedule an appointment to get tested. We have the sites, the physicians, and the tests. We just need more Georgians to participate."
