Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said at a news conference that he disagrees with the decision of Governor Brian Kemp to begin re-opening the state. He said it was too soon.
Here are the President's remarks:
"I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the Phase One guidelines for the incredible people of Georgia -- they’re incredible people, I love those people. They are -- they’re great. They have been strong, resolute, but at the same time, he must do what he thinks is right. I want him to do what he thinks is right, but I disagree with him on what he is doing."
"But I want to let the governors do -- now, if I see something totally egregious, totally out of line, I’ll do. But I think spas and beauty salons and tattoo parlors and barbershops in Phase 1 -- we are going to have Phase 2 very soon -- it's just too soon. I think it's too soon and I love the people. I love -- I love those people that use all of those things: the spas, and the beauty parlors and barbershops, tattoo parlors, I love them."
"But they can wait a little bit longer, just a little bit -- not much, because safety has to predominate. We have to have that. So I told the governor very simply that I disagree with his decision, but he has to do what he thinks is right."
