Governor warns college football is ‘tall task’ if Georgians don’t don masks

The message is simple - wear a mask or risk no college football this year.

The AJC's Greg Bluestein reported that Gov. Brian Kemp delivered the message Wednesday as he launched a statewide "Wear A Mask" tour.

“If people, especially our young people, don’t start wearing a mask when they’re going out in public and our numbers keep rising, that’s going to be a tall task,” Kemp said of the prospect of a college football season.
