Gov. Brian Kemp signed an executive order June 11 that relaxes more restrictions put in place since April to stem the spread of Covid-19, including no limits on the number of dine-in customers at restaurants, allowing for conventions to resume and reopening live performance venues.
Effective July 1, Live performance venues may reopen for business if they comply with specific criteria based on whether they are designated Tier I (hosting up to 999 people); Tier II (hosting up to 4,999 people), or Tier III (hosting more than 5,000). Restrictions advised include empty seats between patrons to meet social distancing protocol and, if possible, installing plexiglass at ticket counters and concession stands.
Testing for COVID-19 is now available to anyone who wants it.
