COVID-19 restrictions will soon be lifted in Georgia, according to Gov. Brian Kemp.
This week, Kemp signaled that he would soon fully reopen the state. The news has received mixed reactions, with some fearful of an infection surge and others relieved to put the restrictions behind them.
12.3% of Georgians are fully vaccinated against the virus — ranking second to last in the entire country, with only Utah trailing behind, according to NPR.
“Hardworking Georgians can’t endure another year like the last,” Kemp tweeted. “We are open. We have been open, and we’re ready to welcome you to the Peach State.”
