Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is banning cities and counties from mandating that masks be worn in public to limit the spread of COVID-19.
Kemp's
executive order is a revised extension of guidelines put in place
during the start of the pandemic, which encouraged, rather than
required, residents to wear masks in public. The governor has called
implementing such a measure “a bridge too far."
The executive
order reads in part: “State, county, or municipal law, order, ordinance,
rule, or regulation that requires persons to wear face coverings,
masks, face shields, or any other Personal Protective Equipment while in
places of public accommodation or on public property are suspended to
the extent that they are more restrictive than this Executive Order."
