The deaths from COVID-19 in 2020 in Polk County

The number of COVID-19 deaths this year reached 34 earlier in the month, and has slowly that number continues to rise after a big increase during the summer and fall months. (As of December 31, when this page was last updated, the year ended with 44 deaths.)

However, it is important to remember that when a person dies, they might also be a COVID-19 death because they were found to have the virus during testing conducted in an autopsy, for instance.

It is also good to remember this: The Georgia Department of Public Health doesn’t report COVID-19 deaths live, but after they are confirmed by the state before being uploaded to the database. So it could be that the death toll has gone up, but those numbers aren’t yet in the state’s reporting system.

This item will be updated regularly with new information as it becomes available, and as long as the state continues to report COVID-19 deaths.
