Here is a breakdown of each case of confirmed coronavirus in Georgia.

ATLANTA — On Monday, Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp held a briefing to address the public on where the state stands with the spread of coronavirus.

The governor outlined the number of positive cases and presumptive positive cases of the virus, called COVID-19.

A presumptive positive means that a person was tested by state health officials using a test developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the test came back positive. That sample then has to go to the CDC for final confirmation, but the CDC said it is responding to the presumptive positives as if they were confirmed cases.

Here are the details of each.

So far, the state has confirmed 12 positive cases of COVID-19 within Georgia. There are three cases in Fulton, two cases in Floyd County, one case in Polk, two cases in Cobb, three cases in Bartow and one case in Lee, according to Kemp.
