GOVERNOR KEMP EXTENDS STATE CORONAVIRUS GUIDELINES, CRACKS DOWN ON LOCAL MASK MANDATES

Governor Brian Kemp issued an Executive Order on Wednesday evening to extend the state’s coronavirus guidelines through the end of this month. This continues a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people, renews restrictions for businesses, maintains the shelter-in-place for the medically fragile, and urges that masks be worn in public. Kemp’s order also addresses local mandates on masks, which are ‘suspended to the extent that they are more restrictive’ than

what the Governor has required. A link to the full Executive Order is posted on the Governor’s Facebook page.
