Bulloch Co. Weekday Covid-19 Report – 08/26/21

Message from Bulloch EMA:

Important:  The number of COVID patients today at EGRMC, and the number of COVID transports EMS is handling today is very concerning. The number of deaths is rising also.  We are heading into something that may be unsustainable.  We can do better as a community and squash this spread.

  1. Get the Vaccine if you are eligible
  2. Watch your distance, and wash your hands
  3. Wear a mask when in close contact with people and indoors

You or a loved one’s life may depend on it.
