On April 2, 2020, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp issued Executive Order No. 04.03.20.01 ordering all
Georgia citizens to stay at home, unless they are (1) conducting or
participating in "Essential Services;" (2) performing
"Necessary Travel;" (3) engaged in the performance of or
travel to and from the performance of "Minimum Basic
Operations" for a business not classified as "Critical
Infrastructure;" or (4) actively engaged in the performance
of, or travel to and from, employment for a business classified as
"Critical Infrastructure."
Importantly, the governor's executive order overrides the
patchwork of restrictions that local governments adopted over the
past few weeks. That means more stringent or lenient rules adopted
by some cities and counties are no longer in place.
