Jul. 7—Public health officials say Cobb County has once again reached a high level of transmission of COVID-19.
As a result, Cobb and Douglas Public Health urges citizens in both counties to take precautionary actions against transmission.
The CDC recommends wearing a mask indoors in public, staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and testing when experiencing symptoms.
The CDC listed 234 cases per 100,000 residents in Cobb County as of Wednesday. High transmission levels are considered rates above 100 cases per 100,000 residents.
In response to the high transmission rates, the county announced Tuesday Chief Judge Rob Leonard re-instituted the mask mandate inside the county courthouse complex, and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park now requires all visitors and employees to wear masks while inside park buildings regardless of vaccination status.
