In the Warner Robins metropolitan area, located in Georgia, a total of 50,120 COVID-19 cases have been reported to date. Adjusted for population, there have been 26,387 reported infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 26,186 cases per 100,000 people.

Though per capita cases of COVID-19 are closely in line with the national per capita infection rate in Warner Robins, there are still parts of the metro area where the per capita infection rate is relatively low.

The broader Warner Robins metro area comprises three counties or county equivalents — and of them, Pulaski County in Georgia has the fewest COVID-19 cases per capita. So far, there have been a total of 2,209 confirmed infections in Pulaski County, or 19,557 for every 100,000 people.

Though Pulaski County has the lowest per capita infection rate in the Warner Robins metro area, its per capita fatality rate is disproportionately high.
