As spring approaches, there will be several public festivals and events in Gwinnett that will attract big crowds, but state officials are encouraging more vulnerable members of the community to stay away from them due to fears about the coronavirus known as COVID-19.

As part of a press conference on Monday, Kemp and Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey addressed what people should do if they feel sick, or are part of vulnerable populations, such as senior citizens or people with chronic health issues.
