Lee County set to receive more PPE

LEESBURG, Ga. – Unlike much of the state, the number of Lee County COVID-19 cases is actually trending downward. The area has had a total of 551 covid cases and sees anywhere from 5-7 new cases a day.

And to keep transmission of the virus low, Commissioners announced that they’ve approved the purchase of additional PPE and barriers to help keep residents and county employees safe.
