Keep in mind: The tally of COVID-19 cases represents only the ones that are documented. Since many remain untested, surely the real number is higher.
Many states have started to relax the restrictions put in place in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. Although social-distancing measures still hold virtually everywhere in the country, more than half of states have started to phase out stay-at-home orders and phase in business reopenings. Others, like New York , are on slower timelines.

Viagen Pets take animal cloning from research lab to marketplace
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) -When you hear the word "cloning" the next thing you probably think about is science class.
"When people ask me what I do I sort of pause and smile and say 'Well you're not going to believe this but..." says Melain Rodriguez, a client services manager with Viagen Pets.
Savannahaian Melain Rodriguez doesn't work your typical 9-5. Yes, when she goes into work she answers phones and chats with clients, but these aren't your typical customer service calls.

Dunwoody Development Authority approves Perimeter Marketplace tax abatement deal; High Street
The Perimeter Marketplace retail development has moved closer to completing a tax abatement deal with the Dunwoody Development Authority, while one for the High Street project has been delayed.
The DDA last year gave initial approvals for agreements with the developers of both projects, where the authority acts as a bond issuing agency that allows them to gain property tax abatements over 10 years in exchange for meeting certain investment and job-creation goals.
