Departments of State Government returning to In-Person Operations

Now that businesses have begun to reopen in Georgia, residents want to know when departments of the state government will once again allow business to be conducted in-person.  Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says that some offices will be reopening soon.  “This crisis has been an unprecedented challenge for the state government. Agencies have met this challenge and continued to provide critical services to the people of Georgia.  I’m proud of the thousands of state employees who have done an incredible job teleworking and adapting to the new normal. To ensure that quality of service continues, starting May 18, specific divisions of state agencies will begin to phase back into limited, in-person operations. In my executive order, I have tasked the Department of Administrative Services with promulgating guidance for state agencies to safely reopen offices. As we work through the process, we will issue that guidance to employees, contractors, and constituents.”  Gov. Kemp said that he will make more detailed announcements in the coming days on how the state will be phasing into limited, in-person operations at agencies.
