Gov. Kemp Gives Update on COVID-19 Response
Atlanta, GA Today Governor Brian P. Kemp updated Georgians on the response to COVID-19:
"Good afternoon, everyone. Before I get started, I want to take a moment to talk about my friend and former Senate colleague, Jack Hill, who unexpectedly passed away on Monday. Georgia has lost a gentle giant. Jack Hill was a longtime public servant and Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. He was respected and loved by countless people in his community and across our state. Earlier today, I signed an executive order directing flags to fly at half-staff across Georgia this Friday. I ask all Georgians to lift up his loved ones and colleagues in prayer as they grapple with his loss.
"This afternoon, I'm joined by DPH Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey, Georgia National Guard Adjutant General Tom Carden, and GEMA Director Homer Bryson. As always, I want to thank these hardworking Georgians - and their staff - for their tireless efforts. We are fortunate to have the best and brightest leading the charge.
"Today, we are reporting a total of 9,901 coronavirus cases in Georgia, and I'm saddened to announce that 362 Georgians have passed as a result of COVID-19. I ask all Georgians in every corner of our great state to join me in praying for all of the families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19, and those who are battling it right now.
"During this sacred Holy Week, we must stay united in the fight against coronavirus. I want to thank the millions of Georgians who are following public health guidance and helping us flatten the curve. We are making progress. I want to thank the frontline workers who are sacrificing everyday to keep us all safe: first responders, law enforcement, our doctors, nurses, and medical staff. These men and women are doing heroic work. Keep praying for their safety - and their families, who many of these frontline workers are unable to see as they fight this pandemic.
"While I am encouraged by some of the recent data, we still have incredible challenges
