Welp Atlanta has been locked down or go to jail
BREAKING: All Fulton residents ordered to stay home or face jail/fines to curb COVID-19
An order posted to the Fulton County Board of Health website says “all residents of Fulton County are commanded to stay at their place of residence” with exceptions. The county holds 1 million people, including the city of Atlanta.
Those who violate the order could be charged with a misdemeanor and subject of fines up to $1,000 and/or 12 months in jail per offense.
The order was signed by Dr. S. Elizabeth Ford, interim director of the Fulton health, on Tuesday and is effective immediately.
“It is my hope that this (order) enhances our efforts to keep Fulton County residents safe, and assists in flattening the COVID-19 curve,” Dr. Ford said in a news release.
In Gwinnett County, solicitor general Brian Whiteside said this week that anyone violating their stay-at-home order could be fined $1,000 and spend up to 60 days in jail.
