Northwest Georgia Community Letter for Shelter-in-Place Order

Northwest Georgia medical and public health leaders continue to work closely and collaboratively to aggressively combat the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, and citizen cooperation with recent guidelines is critical to that effort. As we continue to see an increase of cases in the Northwest Georgia area, it is clear that we must work harder to reduce our contact with others and curb transmission of the illness.

Governor Kemp’s statewide shelter-in-place executive order must be followed as strictly as possible in order to contain the spread and reduce the impact on local health care facilities.
