According to Business Insider, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina warned that Georgia's plan to partially re-open its economy on Friday may be "too fast."
Georgia has over 20,000 COVID-19 cases, over 3,800 patients hospitalized, and 818 deaths as of Tuesday.
They reported over 1,200 new coronavirus cases on Monday alone.
Graham tweeted "We respect Georgia's right to determine its own fate, but we are all in this together...What happens in Georgia will impact us in South Carolina."
Graham supports South Carolina Governor, Henry McMaster's plan for a small reopening of their state's economy, with a focus on social distancing.
But, he added, "I worry that our friends and neighbors in Georgia are going too fast too soon."
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has approved for businesses like hair and nail salons, bowling alleys, and gyms to re-open on Friday. Georgia restaurants and movie theaters are slated to open on Monday.
