Georgia's chief justice has declared a judicial emergency, barring nonessential court functions. This has had the practical effect of halting eviction actions across the state, but the situation could change at any time. At least one major city in the state does have an eviction moratorium in place for certain renters. Contact your landlord and attempt to make an arrangement or seek community assistance if you are unable to pay rent for a COVID-19-related reason. A housing office in Mount Airy or a nearby city may also be able to help.
