Those sheltering in place should NOT receive visitors unless they are performing a medical service, providing necessary supplies, performing support for that person in daily life, or end of life circumstances.
Visitors must also maintain a six foot distance between them and occupants of the home.
IMPORTANT: The state order suspends enforcement of any local order adopted since March 1 with the purpose of addressing coronavirus and does not allow local governments to adopt any new ones. @FOX5Atlanta
ALSO, the order does not suspend the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms/ammunition.
Those caught in violation of this order shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
The shelter-in-place order goes into effect at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 3 and lasts through Monday, April 13 at 11:59 p.m.
