What happens if you violate the Governor's Executive Order?

If you violate any of the terms of the order, you are committing a misdemeanor, which is a crime in the State of Georgia. For example, if you are not sheltering in place and none of the four exceptions for Essential Services, Minimum Basic Operations, Critical Infrastructure or Necessary Travel applies to your activities, you will receive a warning from law enforcement and risk facing criminal charges if you fail to apply.
