NEW: More than 1,000 students in a single Georgia school district have been ordered to self-quarantine after at least 70 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in various schools.

The first dog to test positive for COVID-19 in North CarolinaThe dog, who had been showing signs of respiratory distress, was brought to the NC State Veterinary Hospital on the evening of Aug. 3 after the owner noticed the onset of distress earlier in the day, according to a press release from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

The Department of Health and Human Services says there is an ongoing investigation into the cause of death. The department said the dog was taken to the N.C. State Veterinary Hospital on Aug.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has issued arrest warrants for Christopher Eubank, 40, and Jeffrey Mathews, 36, who were both reported to be out of state Tuesday night and have been told to surrender upon returning to Nashville. Eubank and Mathews are each charged with three separate counts -- all misdemeanors -- of violating health orders by hosting a gathering in excess of 25 people, not requiring social distancing and not requiring face coverings.

Meanwhile, the test-positivity rate was greater than 10% last week in Arkansas, where 5,593 additional cases were reported and two counties have emerged as new hot spots. Logan County reported 90 new cases last week, an increase of 428% and a test-positivity rate of 17.59%. Poinsett County reported 74 new cases, an increase of 189% and a test-positivity rate of 15.43%, according to the FEMA memo.

The memo shows that just five states and territories are in an upward trajectory of new cases, while two states are at a plateau and 49 states are going down.There were 46,808 new cases of COVID-19 identified in the United States on Tuesday, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University.

I have a national plan for the public schools! Please help me reach the right people! Thanks!

Winning with trump..if they would just stop testing these students, everything would be fine.🤣

Where’s DeVos? Why isn’t she at any school openings to welcome the kids back to school?

Of course it is! Just like 2020 should be cancelled.

Wise

This is going well....

Whaaaaaat?! BrianKempGA did you not try 'Circle, circle, dot, dot, now I got my cootie shot' first?! For shame.

we will do it next year as a celebration of life, a celebration of being covid-19, a celebration of removing trump and perhaps even other massive mistakes, failed leaders all over the world.

Sweden started with middle and elementary schools.

HiMyNameIsSeton

But hey let’s reopen schools realDonaldTrump

Weak administration handling the virus

realDonaldTrump I thought kids were almost immune.... Have you checked with your medical advisor Miss Cleo on this?

Crazy..no one listening to science they just rushing to do or be the first to open up their state. Forgetting majority of these kids have never or have not been tested from day one

We are a country run by bovine idiots.

Oh wow what a surprise was anyone warning us of this?

Trump said kids are immune 😒

Governor Kemp says reopening schools in Georgia is 'going great.' If that's the case, I'd hate to see what going poorly looks like.
