The governor's office released this photo of a quarantine facility under construction at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center campus in Monroe County.

Georgia is building a new facility in the middle part of the state to house quarantined patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19, Gov. Brian Kemp's office announced on Friday.

The facility, which will include 20 housing units, is under construction at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center campus in Monroe County, which is near Macon. Patients who test positive for the disease but are unable to self-isolate themselves will be sent to the space, according to the governor's office.
