NOTE: Because the COVID-19
situation is dynamic, with new governmental measures each day,
employers should consult with counsel for the latest developments
and updated guidance on this topic.
On April 2, 2020, Governor Brian Kemp signed an Executive Order requiring Georgia
residents and visitors to shelter in place within their homes or
places of residence, except to engage in limited essential
activities, to perform work for Critical Infrastructure businesses
or to perform work activities required for "Minimum Basic
Operations" of non-critical infrastructure businesses. The
Order expressly closes the public operations and in-person services
of some businesses and professionals, and is in effect from Friday,
April 3, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. until Monday, April 13, 2020 at 11:59
p.m.
