As the set September 4th start date of football for the Georgia High School Association approaches, the GHSA has released that the number of positive COVID cases among high school athletes and coaches is up to 866.
The recent update was provided to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The case numbers are up by over 200, as the previous update we received on July 28th was that there was 655 reported cases.
The GHSA has been tacking the number of positive cases since the high school teams have returned to conditioning on June 8th.
This increase in numbers does not bode well for the return of football season, seeing as how last week the GHSA said the the September 4th return date was “fluid and subject to change due to the updates on the Coronavirus situation”.
According to GHSA Executive Director Robin Hines, schools are not required by the GHSA to submit their results to the organization but are encouraged to do so. The GHSA does not document how many schools have reported.
