Gov. Kemp, state leaders extending public health state of emergency

GEORGIA – Gov. Kemp and state leaders are extending the public health state of emergency that went into effect in March.

Gov. Kemp announced Wednesday the government is extending Georgia’s public health state of emergency through May 13.

“This measure will allow us to continue to deploy resources to communities in need, lend support to frontline medical providers, and keep preparing as we brace for potential patient surge in our healthcare facilities. We deeply appreciate the hard work of Georgians who are sheltering in place, using social distancing, and helping us flatten the curve. We are in this fight together,” Kemp said.
