ATLANTA, GA (WRDW/WAGT) -- The Georgia Department of Public Health says they are waiting on test results for four new presumptive positive tests for the coronavirus in Georgia residents.

DPH says testing was completed today at the Georgia Public Health Laboratory and the results have been submitted to the CDC for verification.

They say one individual is from Fulton County, another individual is from Cherokee County, and the other two individuals are from Cobb County, but they have no connection to each other. All of the individuals are hospitalized, and the sources of their infections are not known.

With the addition of these four presumptive positive cases of the coronavirus, there are now six presumptive positives pending confirmatory testing by CDC and five confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Georgia.
