Political Rewind: Kemp Ends Most COVID Restrictions; Reactions To Pending Trial In Arbery Killing
b"Tuesday on Political Rewind: Many\\xa0COVID-19 restrictions governing Georgia's public spaces and businesses were lifted yesterday. An executive order from Gov. Brian Kemp relaxed public health guidance in\\xa0restaurants, bars, child care facilities, music venues and convention centers.\\n\\nWhile the order discourages public schools from enforcing their own mask mandates, it falls short of a ban on local mask rules.\\xa0\\n\\nMeanwhile, a\\xa0glance at data from the state Department of Public Health on COVID-19 spread in Georgia reveals good news:\\xa0The rate of new infections in the state is reaching lows not seen since the first weeks of the pandemic in April 2020. But are we out of the woods yet? Our panel weighs in.\\n\\nAlso:\\xa0In Congress, all but six Republicans in the Senate voted against legislation creating a commission to investigate the Jan.\\xa06 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Georgia's congressional delegation split their support along partisan lines.\\xa0\\n\\nPanelists:\\n\\nRaisa Habersham \\u2014 Watchdog and Investigative Reporter, Savannah Morning News\\n\\nPatricia Murphy \\u2014 Political Reporter and Columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\\n\\nDr. Karen Owen \\u2014 Professor of Political Science, University of West Georgia"
