The School-Aged COVID-19 Surveillance Report for February 10 (also called the Data Report in the report’s documentation) showed a decrease in new COVID cases among school-aged residents, both in Cobb County and statewide, though all categories are still far above the threshold considered in the high community transmission range.
The latest COVID School-Aged Surveillance Report released today shows 416 cases over the two-week reporting period for a 14-day case rate of 887 per 100,000 of the population in the 0- 4-year old preschool age range, 1359 cases among the kindergarten to 12th grade age range for a case rate of 1,029 per 100,000 of population, and 478 cases, and a rate of 1,015 per 100,000 among those in the 18 to 22-year-old range.
The table below lays it out clearly:
| Age range | 14-day case count | 14-day case rate per 100,00 | Community transmission | Trend |
