Nineteen more Georgians have died from COVID-19 just since noon today and another milestone was reached with 20,166 confirmed cases, according to new Georgia Department of Health figures.
As the number of deaths and coronavirus cases tick up, Gov. Brian Kemp is under heavy criticism from those who believe he’s reopening the state too soon. Kemp announced Monday that gyms, hair salons, nail shops, massage parlors, tattoo parlors and bowling alleys can reopen on April 24 and restaurant dining rooms, movie theaters and private social clubs on April 27.
Kemp’s move to jumpstart the economy even caught his own advisory team by surprise, according to a report in the AJC.
When asked about Georgia’s decision to reopen businesses, President Donald Trump called Kemp a “very capable man” during his Tuesday coronavirus briefing. Trump wondered aloud whether there would be testing before customers went into businesses and said he would ask Kemp. For the record, local businesses are not set up to do any kind of testing of its customers for COVID-19.
The White House issued guidelines last week that said states should show a 14-day downward trajectory of cases before starting to reopen businesses. Despite Kemp saying there was “favorable data,” Georgia has not shown a downward trajectory.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham from South Carolina tweeted that he respected Kemp’s decision, but said Georgia’s decision will have an impact on South Carolina.
Many businesses and restaurants have said they will not open even with permission due to safety concerns and liability risks.

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms told CNN’s Chris Cuomo tonight that she wasn’t consulted by Gov. Brian Kemp before he announced that businesses would begin reopening on Friday, April 24.
“When I look at the data, I see our [COVID-19} numbers are going up,” Bottoms said. “The death rate is up 14 percent, positives up 7 percent. We’re not testing for asymptomatic.”
Just hours after Kemp announced that businesses like gyms, nail shops, hair salons and bowling alleys, could start reopening on Friday, the Georgia Department of Public Health released the latest COVID-19 statistics for the state showing that 42 more people have died just since noon today bringing the death toll to 775. The total number of confirmed cases now sits at 19,399. These figures appear to fly in the face of Kemp’s comment that “favorable data” prompted his decision to allow businesses to start reopening.
“I’m perplexed that we’re opening up this way,” Bottoms said. “I don’t see what the data is based on that’s logical.”
Bottoms said she spoke to the mayor of Augusta, the state’s second most populace city, who was also not consulted by Kemp. However, Kemp’s order is absolute and cannot be countermanded by cities or counties.
“My mother ran a beauty salon, so I understand the economic pull of this, but you have to live to be able to fight another day,” the mayor said. “If we’re not alive on the other side, there won’t be a recovery to be had. How do you get a haircut and stay a safe distance from someone cutting your bangs?”
Bottoms said has issued an administrative order directing the City’s Chief Operating Officer to convene an advisory council on the measures needed and steps to be taken in order to end the mayor’s Stay at Home Order when that time is appropriate. The advisory council will include representatives from MARTA, Atlanta Public Schools, Grady Hospital, Emory University, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and representatives from restaurants, retail, arts and culture community, the film industry and faith community among others.

Marguerite Williams Award
The historic City Hall in Griffin received the Marguerite Williams Award. The highest honor given by the Trust, this award is presented annually to the project that has had the greatest impact on preservation in the state. Griffin’s historic City Hall was designed by Atlanta architect Haralson Bleckley and completed in 1910.
Excellence in Rehabilitation Awards
The Women’s Comfort Station at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Decatur Presbyterian Church in Decatur and Historic Mule Barn and Dundee Café in Griffin received awards for Excellence in Rehabilitation, which recognizes projects that make compatible use of a building through repair, alterations or additions while preserving features of the property that convey its historic value. This year the Trust presented fourteen Excellence in Rehabilitation awards.
Excellence in Preservation Awards
The Randolph-Lucas-Jones House in Atlanta received an award for Excellence in Preservation, which recognizes projects that provide the appropriate preservation of historic resources and creative interpretations of historic sites. This year the Trust presented one Excellence in Preservation award. Designed by P. Thornton Mayre in 1924, the Randolph-Lucas-Jones House was built for Hollins Nicholas Randolph, an Atlanta attorney and businessman, and the great-great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson. Originally located at the intersection of Peachtree Street and Lindbergh Avenue, the house was saved from demolition and moved to the Ansley Park neighborhood. The current owners Roger Smith and the late Christopher M. Jones began a comprehensive rehabilitation in 2014. Jones, who passed away in 2019, was a well-known Atlanta preservation advocate.
Excellence in Restoration Awards
The Atlanta History Center received an award for Excellence in Restoration for the Battle of Atlanta Cyclorama painting restoration. The painting, a 360-degree oil-on-canvas depiction of the Battle of Atlanta during the Civil War, was completed in 1886 and was formerly on display in Grant Park. A team of art conservators examined and prepared the painting for the move. It was then rolled onto two scrolls and moved by cranes and flatbed semi-trailers using a skilled team of riggers and truckers to the new Lloyd and Mary Ann Whitaker Cyclorama Building at the Atlanta History Center. Many months of conservation and restoration work followed, and the conserved painting and its restored diorama opened to the public in February 2019.
Camille W. Yow Award
Halston Pitman of Atlanta received the Camille W. Yow Volunteer of the Year Award. Since 1978, The Georgia Trust has recognized a volunteer of the year with the Camille W. Yow Award, named after the long-time volunteer who was the first award recipient. Pitman is a professional photographer who has been generously giving his time, talent and skills to The Georgia Trust for the last 10 years.

His professional, high-quality images are shared with media throughout the Southeast, bringing much-needed attention to these endangered places. A Georgia native, Halston enjoys visiting historic buildings and going inside some of the state’s most forgotten places.

The Atlanta Police Department has released surveillance video of a woman whose dog jumped on and bit a woman on the Atlanta BeltLine in Buckhead.
Police say the victim, who is a Buckhead resident in her 30s, and the suspect were each walking their dogs April 2 around 5 p.m. on the BeltLine near the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center at 2125 Northside Drive. According to the police report, the suspect’s dog broke free of its leash and ran toward the victim. The victim said she “picked up her dog and turned her shoulder facing the charging canine,” according to the police report. The attacking dog jumped and bit the victim on the upper arm, causing a serious wound that required surgery, according to APD.
The suspect pulled her dog off of the victim. While several witnesses aided the victim, according to the report, the suspect said she would secure the dog, then left the area without returning.
APD released surveillance video and still images showing the suspect in a parking deck, apparently the one under the Bitsy Grant courts. The dog is described as a silver “pit bull” and the suspect as a heavy-set black woman in her 40s or 50s. The suspect was driving a white BMW car with an Ohio license plate with the number HLM8829 and a front novelty plate reading “535 BMW.”
The Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line offers a reward of up to $2,000 for the arrest and indictment of a suspect. Anyone with information about the incident can call 404-577-8477 or see the Crime Stoppers website here.
