Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp issued a new Covid-19 executive order Saturday, according to a statement from the governor’s office. The order extends the shelter-in-place order for the medically fragile, continues the ban on large gatherings and maintains health and safety protocols for Georgia businesses, Kemp said in his statement. The order "protects Georgia businesses from government overreach by restricting the application and enforcement of local masking requirements to public property. Anyone who violates local mask rules must be warned about the health risks of not doing so before a citation is issued, according to the order.
