A recent analysis of smartphone location data showed that Georgia received an additional 62,440 daily visitors the week the state lifted some lockdown restrictions, allowing restaurant dining rooms, hair salons and other nonessential businesses to reopen. Though those states had also begun lifting some lockdown measures, Georgia had reopened the most suddenly. The analysis did not determine where in Georgia the visitors went once entering the state.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Washington D.C. said the district will remain closed until a downward trajectory in cases is observed.
