Brian Kemp said Wednesday that he wants to lift more restrictions on businesses as long as people continue to heed coronavirus guidance from officials and public health experts. The Republican governor’s comments came as state data shows the number of new daily infections trending upward after weeks of decline. “We can’t keep fighting the virus from our living room,” Kemp said, according to video of his remarks posted online by WMAZ-TV. Georgia has had more than 44,000 confirmed cases of the virus, according to data from the state Department of Public Health. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
