A South Carolina mayor is warning residents to refrain from crossing the Georgia line as Gov. Brian Kemp (R) loosens restrictions in the Peach State.

“I’m telling my folks, don’t go to Georgia,” Gifford Mayor Horney Mitchell said, according to the Daily Beast. “What I tell them is stay home and stay safe. Do not cross the Georgia line.”


Mitchell said that despite Kemp loosening restrictions, Georgia does not have a handle on the virus yet.

“And we are that close to Georgia, some of our folks will travel there and may retract something back this way. So I’m very scared about that,” he said, encompassing the views of other South Carolina mayors whose towns sit close to the state line.

“It is very scary,”  Furman Mayor Francenia Ellis said, according to the Daily Beast. “Because I do believe that we still need to be more cautious about this thing.”

The Mayor's name is Horney?  Just the guy I want running my city hall.   :silly:

The South Carolina county this mayor lives in has more Sars-2 cases than does its adjacent Georgia county.  If anything, Georgians in Screven County run a 50% greater risk crossing over to Hampton County, SC.
