Thursday on Political Rewind, Gov. Brian Kemp is preparing for a 8 p.m. live televised town hall meeting on the coronavirus that will be carried by TV and radio stations across the state.

Among other things, the governor is expected to address an extension of his order closing Georgia schools and colleges. And, the surge of COVID-19 cases in Albany continues to test that community’s resources.

And, Phoebe-Putney Memorial Hospital officials say they are close to capacity with intensive care unit beds for critically ill patients.
