00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:08.160
This is Governor Brian Kemp. As we
continue to combat the spread of COVID -19

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.780
I want to emphasize some of the best
practices you should be using to prevent

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:16.529
the spread of the virus.
Wash your hands with soap and water for

00:00:16.529 --> 00:00:21.930
at least 30 seconds. Practice social
distancing and don't go out if you can

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.529
avoid it.
According to federal recommendations

00:00:24.529 --> 00:00:29.550
social distancing means postponing group
congregations and large gatherings like

00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:33.960
sporting events and social functions
with more than ten people for the next

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.719
eight weeks. Choosing to stay home and
heed this advice can significantly limit

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:44.040
the spread of the virus and help us in
our efforts to flatten the curve. And

00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:49.379
please if you're experiencing any
symptoms stay home and contact your

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:53.760
medical provider for testing. If you
continue to go to work, school or

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:58.980
gatherings, you are putting others at
risk. Elderly citizens and those with

00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:02.940
chronic underlying health conditions
face a serious threat to their health

00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:08.130
and we must do everything in our power
to reduce risks associated with the

00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:13.950
virus. If you need more specific guidance
we are here to serve you. Contact your

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:19.619
local public health office or consult
official sources such as the CDC and the

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:25.080
Georgia Department of Public Health for
helpful guidance on decision-making.

00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:30.420
We will continue to provide updates to the
public as we weather this crisis, in the

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:35.700
days and weeks ahead we must remain
supportive of one another, be mindful of

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:41.220
potential exposure, use best practices to
prevent infection, and pray for our

00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:46.229
fellow Americans. We are in this fight
together and because of that we will be

00:01:46.229 --> 00:01:51.479
stronger than ever before. Thank you and
may God continue to bless this great

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:54.020
state of Georgia.
