Kemp Optimistic on Georgia Virus Fight as Concerns Linger

Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP

Gov. Brian Kemp says Georgia is going in the right direction in its effort to contain the COVID-19 respiratory illness, although others still point to areas of concern.

Kemp on Monday noted that the fewest ventilators were in use and the fewest patients confirmed to be positive for the coronavirus were in Georgia hospitals since the state began keeping track on April 8. Worries remain about geographic hot spots and disproportionate harm to African Americans and Latino Georgians. Some local governments are pushing for more mask use.
