Gov. Kemp Announces Plans To Partly Reopen State Amid The Coronavirus Pandemic.
Gov. Kemp
The Georgia Department of Public Health now reports there are 20,166 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the state.
3,885 people remain hospitalized and the death toll in the state has risen to 818. The numbers were released Tuesday at 7 p.m.
The most cases, with 2,206, are in Fulton County, followed by Dekalb County with 1,563 and Dougherty with 1,456.
Meanwhile, Kemp joined his fellow Republican governors from South Carolina and Tennessee in announcing partial openings this week.
But many local leaders across the state said that they were caught off guard by Kemp's announcement, with some calling the decision "reckless" and "irresponsible" as they advised residents to continue sheltering in place.
