Gov. Kemp wants Georgians to still follow COVID-19 Safety Precautions

With more businesses opening back up in Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp encourages everyone to continue following COVID-19 safety precautions.  “All Georgians must continue to follow social distancing, and gatherings of more than ten people remain banned unless there is at least six feet between each person. The gatherings ban applies to all non-critical infrastructure businesses, local governments, and organizations of all types, including social groups, informal get-togethers, and recreational sports, just to name a few.  We continue to strongly encourage people to wear face coverings when out in public, and we thank everyone for their willingness to do the right thing. The shelter in place provision for medically fragile and Georgians aged 65 and older remains in effect through June 12, 2020. Mandatory restrictions for sanitation and social distancing will remain in place for all non-critical infrastructure businesses, and for recently reopened businesses, we are extending industry-specific restrictions. Those will remain in place through the end of the month. As businesses slowly reopen and some enhance capacity, we know that many are safely returning to their place of employment.”  Remember the 3 Ws, which stand for washing your hands, widening the gap between you and others, and wiping frequently touched surfaces.
