Kemp Says COVID-19 Tests Available, Maintains There’s No Rift With Trump

At a press briefing Monday, Gov. Brian Kemp did not show any resentment of President Trump’s criticism of Georgia’s reopening plan.

Any Georgian with COVID-19 symptoms can now get tested, Gov. Brian Kemp said Monday.

“We have the tests, we have the physicians, we have the sites, and we have the bandwidth. What we need now is more Georgians to participate,’’ Kemp told reporters at a press briefing at the state Capitol.

The governor also defended his decision to reopen certain businesses Friday, and restaurants and movie theaters Monday. Georgia’s reopening plan is considered the most aggressive of any state during the pandemic.
