STAFF REPORT :::
Georgia officials have identified Hard Labor Creek State Park in Morgan County as a location for the isolation and monitoring of people who may have been exposed to COVID-19.
According to a press release issued by the office of Governor Brian Kemp, he along with the Departments of Public Health, Public Safety and Natural Resources together reached this decision “out of an abundance of caution.”
No people are currently scheduled to be transferred to this location.
Kemp’s office and state officials are working to prepare the site.
Seven emergency trailers have been delivered and installed at the park, and related materials are en route for future use.
Once established, the Department of Public Safety will provide security for this location.
The isolated section of Hard Labor Creek State Park where emergency trailers and operations are established will be separated from the remainder of the property.
Authorities say to prevent the disruption of ongoing operations, access to this specific part of Hard Labor Creek State Park is strictly limited to official use.
