Following a statement by Governor Brian Kemp Thursday afternoon, the Georgia High School Association is postponing the State Literary competitions scheduled for March 14 and March 21, and further recommending that all member schools suspend spring sports activities until further notice.
“The regular season belongs to the schools themselves,“ said Dr. Robin Hines, Executive Director of the GHSA. “We can only recommend that they suspend playing. The final decision will rest with the local school systems, but we hope they heed the Governor’s and the GHSA’s recommendations.”
The GHSA State Literary meets are expected to be made up at a future date. The situation with the remaining spring sports is yet to be determined.
“We will definitely suspend for the next two weeks, as the Governor recommended,” said Hines. “By close of business on Friday, March 27th, we will issue an update.
“We hate to have to make this call, but we must do what is in the best interest of our student-athletes and fans.”

“National message is starting to change, and we need the public to continue to follow important guidance. At Noon today my office participated in a conference call with Vice President Pence, federal officials, and governors for an update on national preparedness. Vice President Pence asked us to emphasize the following point:
“We all have to be vigilant for the health and safety of our elderly citizens, and those with Chronic, underlying health conditions. They are at risk the most and we all have a critical part to play in their health. If you’re sick, do not go to work. Do not attend large events. You will put others at risk. If you are elderly, or having underlying chronic conditions, avoid large events, and stay away from loved ones and friends who are sick.”
In addition federal officials are now urging these vulnerable populations to avoid travel to hot zones and to avoid cruise ship travel altogether. We are not yet advising the cancellation of large public events, but we are calling on Georgians to follow these revised guidelines to mitigate risk and keep people safe as possible. As the cases become more numerous across the country, we are definitely going to see more cases here in Georgia. "
Thanks to the efforts of countless hard-working officials across all levels of government, we are ready. Please continue to use these best practices that are being emphasized by federal, state, and local officials:
Wash your hands
Avoid contact with your face and eyes
Please stay home if you are sick
Get a flu shot so we lessen the amount of hospital beds used for flu when we may need them for the coronavirus.
