(CNN) Georgia's current policies to fight Covid-19 are not enough, according to White House Coronavirus Task Force recommendations dated Sunday and obtained by The Atlanta Journal Constitution. "There is widespread and expanding community viral spread," reads the report, according to the newspaper. Mitigation efforts must increase." The task force recommended a statewide mask mandate, the closing of nightclubs, bars and gyms in high-risk counties, limiting restaurants to one-quarter of capacity, and ramping up testing and contact tracing, according to the newspaper article. "Current mitigation efforts are not having a sufficient impact and would strongly recommend a statewide mask mandate," reads the report.
