Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp boasted that the nearly 13,000 new COVID-19 tests reported to the Georgia Department of Public Health’s website Tuesday was the largest single-day of new tests since the pandemic began.

“Two weeks ago, I told Georgians we were not testing enough in our state and that we would make every effort to boost testing capacity,” Kemp said in a statement. “It is clear we are making significant progress. We have dramatically increased the number of testing sites with 49 now available across the state in partnership with our university system, the private sector, local public health officials, and nine additional Georgia Guard testing sites. We are pushing our testing capacity to the max.”
