City of Atlanta launches website to inform residents about coronavirus

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Monday night that she signed a 14-day stay-at-home order due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The city of Atlanta has established a website for residents and businesses to obtain the latest information about the city’s efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

The site — ATLSTRONG.ORG — also allows people to sign up for COVID-19 text alerts and request information about emergency fund assistance relief.

“Atlanta will rise above the challenges we face with the COVID-19 health threat, and we will do so together,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. “By staying connected, residents and businesses alike can do their part to ensure we stop the spread of this virus and start the recovery process.”

Residents can also text “ATLCOVID19” to 888777 for updates about the virus.
