A
state senator from Georgia who tested positive for COVID-19 but
decided to come to St. George Island to quarantine has cut his visit
short.
The
sheriff's office said Georgia State Senator Bruce Thompson, who lives
just North of Atlanta in a town called White, Georgia was confirmed
to have the virus in March and was even hospitalized in intensive
care for a short time in mid-March.
Thompson
is a Republican who represents Senate District 14, which includes
portions of Cherokee, Bartow and Cobb counties in Georgia.
He
arrived in Franklin County on Tuesday night.
There
was a huge uproar after the public learned of the senator's decision
to come to his home in the Plantation.
The
sheriff's office sent an e-mail at 3:45 Wednesday afternoon saying
Thompson has decided to leave the island.
Franklin
County currently has no confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus.
The
county has been working hard to keep people out by closing beaches
and other public areas as well as closing rental homes.
