Cobb and Douglas Public Health is starting to break down its Coronavirus statistics into some categories we’ve been getting questions about.

Specifically, some readers have wanted to know exactly where in the county these cases are taking place, and how many.

The county health agency has produced a map (seen above, and that you can hover over here) that breaks those numbers down by ZIP Code, with the darker shadings representing higher numbers of cases, and the lighter shades the fewest.

As of Wednesday, here are the number of cases this map is reflecting in East Cobb ZIP Codes:

  • 30062: 113
  • 30066: 95
  • 30067: 93
  • 30068: 68
  • 30075: 11

However, the statistics don’t include the number of deaths by ZIP Code.

As of noon Thursday, there were 2,006 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Cobb County and 197 deaths. Another 509 people have been hospitalized in the county.

Across Georgia, there are 1,335 deaths and 31,260 cases, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health. A total of 217,303 people have been tested.

Those numbers are updated here twice a day, at 12 and 7 p.m.

The four highest concentrations of COVID-19 cases in Cobb are in Marietta 30060 (235), Powder Springs 30127 (151), Smyrna 30080 (143) and Kennesaw 30152 (142).

The Cobb and Douglas Public Health detailed data link also includes some other information, including testing.

As of Wednesday, 4,204 people have been tested in Cobb County, and with the 2,006 cases that comes to a positivity rate of 8.9 percent.

While the state data does break down cases and deaths by age and racial groups, the county data doesn’t yet show that.

All but 11 of those who have died in Cobb due to the virus were over the age of 60, and most had underlying medical conditions that were reported at the time of their deaths.

  1. The legend doesn’t make any sense. The highest number in a range shouldn’t also be the lowest number in the next range. For example, “54” is indicated in both of the first two ranges; however, it can’t belong in both. It’s a part of either one set or another.

  2. The last paragraph on East Cobb COVID19 cases states that:
    All but 11 of those who have died in Cobb due to the virus were under the age of 60, and most had underlying medical conditions that were reported at the time of their deaths.

    Don’t you mean OVER 60???? Only 11 deaths OVER Age 60??? Surely that is a typo error?

  3. statistics are only showing pre existing conditions as percentages of those infected. I think it would be extremely helpful to know how people with each Comorbidity tolerated the virus . Example: of those infected having cardiovascular disease what % had mild symptoms, was hospitalized, needed ICU care, did not survive etc
    I also think it would be helpful to show the number of daily new cases in each zip code as opposed to just cumulative totals
