Days after Georgia Military College finalized its institution-wide initiative of a “Five-Step Program: Preventing the Spread of COVID-19,” Gov. Brian Kemp and Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey called on every Georgian to embrace and carry through the state’s “Four Things for Four Weeks” to slow the spread of the virus:

(1) Wear a mask when in public or when social distancing is not feasible; (2) Practice social distancing — 6 feet from those you don’t live with;

(3) Wash hands for 20 seconds several times throughout the day with soap and water or apply an alcohol-based hand sanitizer; and

(4) Follow the Governor’s executive order and heed guidance provided by public health officials.

Georgia Military College realizes the importance of what the Governor has asked of every Georgian and the institution will fully embrace the state’s initiative and will take an active role in implementing the “Four Things for Four Weeks.” Effective immediately, GMC has requested all employees, students, and visitors to wear masks in our facilities and classrooms as part of the Georgia effort to do “Four Things for Four Weeks,” ending August 17, 2020. We have also encouraged our GMC Bulldog family to embrace and support this state initiative even when they are not on campus.

Up-to-date guidance and information on COVID-19 can be found on the Department of Public
Health website https://dph.georgia.gov/. For more information on the practices and protocols GMC has implemented on our campuses, visit our Coronavirus information page at https://www.gmc.edu/current-students/coronavirus-info.cms.
