White House slams Georgia's Brian Kemp over coronavirus outbreak after GOP governor followed Trump's
President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force called Georgia for its continued outbreak after its Republican governor refused to follow public health recommendations.
Gov. Brian Kemp was among the last to issue a shelter-in-place order and aggressively reopened his state’s economy after the COVID-19 lockdown at the encouragement of the president, but now Trump’s public health experts say Georgia bars, gyms and nightclubs should be closed in the highest risk counties, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“Current mitigation efforts are not having a sufficient impact,” the task force warned in a new report.
Trump and Vice President Mike Pence repeatedly told Kemp they approved of reopening plan until the president abruptly disavowed the Georgia governor after his health advisers warned him it was too risky.
Public health officials and Democrats have urged Kemp to implement a statewide mask order, as all but 16 states have done, and the White House task force called for new restrictions on restaurants and social gatherings to inhibit the spread of the deadly virus.
