Governor Kemp Extends Public Health State of Emergency 7.31.2020

Following recent increases in the number of coronavirus cases in Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp has extended the state’s public health emergency once again, through Sept. 10.

He’s also extending coronavirus restrictions – ones that require social distancing, ban gatherings of more than 50 people unless there is six feet between each person, outline mandatory criteria for businesses, and require sheltering in place for those living in long-term care facilities and the medically fragile. That order runs through 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 15, 2020.
