Governor Brian P. Kemp has extended his Executive Order 09.15.20.01,that covers COVID-19 restrictions through September 30th.

The order was to have expired at midnight Wednesday.

Under Executive Order 09.15.20, there are no changes to the mandatory restrictions in place for the operation of businesses, including food establishments, bars, cinemas, bowling alleys, salons, barbers, cosmetologists, amusement parks, live performance and event venues, childcare facilities, etc.

Additionally, he said the local option for requiring face coverings, subject to specific criteria, remains in place.

The shelter in place provisions for people who live in long-term care facilities and the medically fragile also remain in place.

And the Order also continues to include a large gathering ban of fifty (50) or more persons unless social distancing is maintained.

However, the Order does allow long-term care facilities to allow in-person visitation as long as it follows Georgia Department of Health’s Re-opening Guidelines for those facilities.
