It is good to report that over the past week, there have been no positive COVID-19 cases in either the Trion City or the Chattooga County School Systems.  This is the second week in a row that Trion has reported zero cases.   The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that as of last week, omicron cases have dropped by 93% over last month.  According to a CDC map presented Friday, all of metro Atlanta and much of the rest of the state is in a “low” or “medium” transmission category based on the new formula, meaning masks are optional. For areas that are classified as “high” transmission, CDC recommends people wear a mask in public indoor settings, including schools. The recommendations apply to everyone, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or boosted.
