Ga. Tech interactive map helps evaluate COVID-19 risks ahead of holidays

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WIS/WRDW) - Coronavirus cases surging across the two-state region have health officials worried that the approaching holidays could make things worse.

Experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend you celebrate virtually, if possible, because traditional celebrations could lead to another spike in cases.

If you do plan to travel for the holiday season, Georgia Tech has created an interactive map that can help calculate your risk for infection based on where you’re traveling and how many people plan to attend the event.
