COVID monitor updates to end

With COVID no longer a significant health threat here in Pike County, the Journal Reporter will suspend updating the COVID-19 Monitor at pikecountygeorgia.com and in the print edition.

The newspaper has provided updated statistics for Pike and surrounding counties since March 2020.

There have been four deaths attributed to COVID in the first half of 2023 and confirmed cases have dwindled to single digits for a majority of the year so far. Should ill effects from the pandemic increase for the community, the Journal Reporter will resume updates.
