As cases of coronavirus continue to expand, including in Fulton County, the city of Atlanta has created a central location where people can educate themselves on the virus.

The webpage, which is located on the city of Atlanta website, has frequently asked questions, resources from local, state, and federal departments and an instructional video from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to protect from the novel coronavirus.

The FAQs include “How can I protect myself and my family?”, Do I need to wear a mask or cancel my social activities?", “What can I do to prepare?”

On Monday, Gov. Brian Kemp said that two cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Fulton County.

“These cases involve two individuals who reside in the same household. One who recently returned from Italy,” Kemp said.

They are currently being kept inside their home with family to help isolate the virus.

The governor urged residents that there is no reason to panic about the announcement.

“Georgians should remain calm. We were ready for today. We have been preparing for weeks now and so far, every development has come forward just as we expected it would,” Kemp said.
