ATLANTA — Governor Brian Kemp is warning people to be on alert for rumors circulating online about fake information about the coronavirus.
Kemp tweeted about a fake graphic that shows some Georgia companies being closed due to the state of emergency declared.
Kemp recommends that people verify “any and all” information before sharing.
Our office is unaware of the origin of this graphic, but it is FALSE.
