Florida reports more than 10,000 new cases — a new daily record
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said today Covid-19 continues to spread in the state. “We’re not out of the woods yet,” said Kemp.
“We cannot get complacent,” added Kemp during his stop in Dalton, Georgia, while on his “Wear a Mask” fly-around tour of Georgia ahead of the holiday weekend.
Kemp encouraged Georgians to continue social distancing, washing their hands, and wearing a mask or face covering.
“We don’t need a mandate to do the right thing,” said Kemp. “I just trust Georgians to do the right thing,” added Kemp.
When asked to elaborate, Kemp said “We got a speed limit all over the state, here in town, on the interstate. Not everybody obeys by that.”
“On the rise in cases, I don’t think that surprises me in light of what we’ve been dealing with,” said Kemp.
Kemp said the state’s surge capacity “continues to remain solid.”
“Our hospitals are prepared,” added Kemp.
“There is good news in our fight. Our case mortality rate continues to decline. Our testing continues to rise,” added Kemp.
