Of the two students, one tested negative and the other never exhibited symptoms. They were exposed off campus and lived off campus. Farr also confirmed a fourth case reported Monday for a time was an error. “So many people are monitoring the numbers and inputting data, there are duplicates at times,” Farr said.Georgia now has 3817 cases, 818 hospitalizations and 108 deaths.Surrounding counties:Pike: 2Upson: 4Monroe: 4Butts: 6Spalding: 13
