Governor kemp continues to make georgia one of the leading examples of reopening.

However, not all agree with the his decision.

Ed jessee: "i'm not a fan of premature reopenings, and i think georgia jumped a little early."

Shaina gross: "i think that we should definitely be cautious in opening things up and with removing the restrictions, just because it does seem like, i'm reading more and more about the covid cases increasing in walker county specifically."

Walker county has 216 confirmed cases of the virus -- up from 189 last week.

However, some walker county residents believe reopening is viral for the economy to survive.

Brenda pickett: "i'm glad they're actually lifted.

I think it's long overdue."

Chance coulombe: "i feel like it's not necessarily the best thing to have happened, but i understand the need to have more people back in work and spending money, because while there is a viral epidemic going on, there are a lot of small businesses that aren't able to financially recover from said restrictions."

Tony and nancy magaraci: "if it can be done in the right manner and people can be responsible, i think it's a good thing.

... i think for a healthy economic system, i think we have to do something because if we don't, there's going to be a lot greater things that we'll be accountable for."
