Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed two executive orders extending the Public Health State of Emergency and existing COVID-19 safety measures, late Friday.
The move extends the Public Health State of Emergency through September 10th… allowing for enhanced coordination across government and the private sector for supply procurement, comprehensive testing, and healthcare capacity.
Orders require social distancing, ban gatherings of more than fifty 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, through September 15th.

Governor Kemp, what more can people do before you can buy anything you have to have a face mask or face cover Walmart, publix, Kroger,ingles, dollar general,all conversation stores nothing seems to be working I mean what’s up it’s just a power game that’s all I mean it’s got worse just close everything down just Kroger, ingles, publix that’s all that is open
Apply another lock down and close bars and clubs
I go for another lock down
Shut it down so you can catch it. The same guide lines you
Put forth in April will not work for August . Shut it
Down
Whats the harm in. Saying you have to wear a mask. if you
Cook my food – wear a mask. But. I. Vote. republican. no matter. whats going on. I. Speak for the babies to be born!!!
PLEASE IN THE NAME OF GOD, consider those in Assisted Living and Nursing Homes. THEY HAVE BEEN WITHOUT FAMILY close to FIVE MONTHS NOW!!!
THEY ARE DYING FROM ISOLATION!!! Please allow at least one family member enter as an Essential Caregiver as has been done in other areas.
PLEASE, they’re dying and confused and alone…
PLEASE CONTACT Georgia Caregivers for Compassion on FB and can we meet to discuss how to help our most valuable citizens… EVERYONE HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT THEM 🙁
News story in AJC today about our cause and media to get involved, please at least just read our stories, please have mercy.
Why are schools allowed to go in person if it’s still a state of emergency? Alot of grandparents are raising grandchildren or living in the home
So happy this Dude is not my GOVERNOR a 13 year old could run a state better then him . He’s another one that’s in there not for the people of Georgia but for a pay check he could give 2 shits about his State trying kill you all is he not the genius that said he “didn’t know coronavirus can be contagious before people are showing symptoms” He’s as bright as a light bulb He opened Stupid shit up way to earlier instead of listening to the experts so he infected and possibly killed thousands of people from doing that !!
Let people live their lives for f sakes isnt enough enough?
Kemp, Why should I risk my life and other’s by not wearing a mask? Someone at work didnt want to wear one. She had Covid 19. She put my life at risk and everyone else in the building. Her reason was it was too hot. SHUT GA DOWN!!!
People,do not expect the government do everything to protect you,do your part,wear a mask if needed, protect yourself, don’t gather,not even 10 people or 10feet apart
Seriously? The political game about MASKS not manditory statewide is costing lives and will hurt our economy worse This is not only a sin, but people will never forget the fact that you could care less about our front line health workers. I heard that over 1600 health workers pleaded to have masks mandated. What science are you missing sir,?
High school science.. Is what he’s missing he don’t know any thing I think he was on that no child left behind bus were they had to pass him ..
I totally agree with you! Have been trying to figure that myself.
It’s does not matter I go in to all the store’s that have the masks order but everyone won’t out them on and store’s will not enforce them . We never going to get out of this mess people

Shut it down. My mom is in a nursing home that has been under lock down since day one and now she has covid 19. And you are wanting to send our kids back to school to get infected. Our kids are not lab rats to just see what happens if you cared about our state you would do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe. Schools should not reopen. You are putting kids lives at stake. I don’t know how you can go to sleep at night. Our health care workers are over worked. Hospitals are getting at there max. More people is dieing everyday. Please do what is right and shut it down. Schools closed down with only a few covid 19 cases and now you want to send the kids back to school with over 195,000 case’s shame on you.
AMEN!
Political gain and ignorant strategy.
He has a role model in the whitehouse he lives by!
We as Georgians have to think for ourselves as well as our families, this crook don’t care about noone but self. Well, I am not listening to a nut that opened up this state too soon. He suppose to be a leader, but then he didn’t have the balls to sit with the mayors of this state to let them know his plans, they heard about it when all of us heard about it.. I thank God for mayor Bottoms for looking out for us. I listen to her not Kemp. I will be glad when his term is up, Bottoms for governor. He cheated to get where he is now. Now he’s going around saying not to wear a mask, his family has their mask on, but at any rate, we are listening to mayor Bottoms not him. We know who’s in his ear. Lol. This clown is a disgrace to this state. He can’t stand for a woman to tell him nothing. He big headed, don’t listen, can’t handle power. Well, we are listening to Mrs. Bottoms not you sir.
Bottoms for governor!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Mrs. Bottoms for all that you do for GA. Please run for governor so this clown can go home somewhere and read his paper. Can’t stand him.
RIGHT?
IN all of this craziness since Feb….she has RISEN to the occasion !
How did he EVER GET ELECTED? BARELY ….IS the word.
Unfortunately.
He needs to GO!
EVERYTHING you have posted is true!
He has drank the TRUMP KOOLAID and is still drinking it.
All of his decisions are so ignorant.
50 people gatherings BUT STAY 6 FT APART? That is laughable and sickening.
Remember his statement about A SYMPTOMATIC people? Claiming he didn’t know?
He is as ARROGANT and IGNORANT as his IDOL IN THE WHITEHOUSE.
CALLING FOR PROTECTION OF THE GOVERNOR MANSION? REALLY?
When hardworking Americans are losing their asses and family members due to HIS ARROGANCE AND IGNORANCE .
He needs to GO! ALONG WITH TRUMP!
