To: Georgia Residents Who Visit Hair and Nails Shops

Are Hair Salons and Nail Shops Absolutely Essential During a Pandemic?

Governor Kemp (R) - Ga recently declared that hair salons, nail salons, and tattoo parlors can reopen in the state of Georgia. How can you socially and physically distance in the personal care business? Massage parlors, nail shops, hair salons, tattoo parlors, etc. and movie theaters all require patrons to sit in confined spaces within the recommended socially distant six feet. This will only cause the virus to spread.

I urge all petitioners to stay home and stay safe until there is comprehensive testing and contact tracing to control the virus.

Why is this important?

Gov. Kemp famously stated, "I don't give a damn about politics." What else would justify the premature opening of the economy amidst a pandemic? The current death toll from COVID-19 has surpassed 52,000 to date, 900+ deaths in Georgia and 22,000+ confirmed infections.

Opening up the Georgia economy to include service industries such as nail shops, tattoo parlors, hair salons, bowling alleys, movie theaters and restaurants is the wrong thing to do. Without adequate testing, It is impossible to identify carriers of coronavirus which contributes to the spread of the disease.
