PUBLIC TOURS CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: Out of an abundance of caution, we are temporarily canceling public tours until further notice to ensure the health and safety of Georgia families.
That announcement greets anyone who goes to the Tour the Mansion page on the state of Georgia website. Gov. Brian Kemp was happy to reopen everything from barber shops to tattoo parlors to movie theaters to bowling alleys.
But he was suddenly possessed with an abundance of caution at the prospect of admitting folks to the governor's mansion.

Same with White House tours. They were one of the first things shut down (WH tours were canceled indefinitely starting March 11) and there is no talk of starting them up again.

I would think even repubs would get that one.
OPEN repubs' gov mansions.. who reopen their states too soon.. And get that WH tour guide going on if trump doesn't shut down the anti-Shelter in Place Safeguards.

(297,188 posts)and any other gop Gov can see the wisdom in that.
Gov Cuomo might get that out there bc the repub govs opening their states before it's safe will affect us All.
If they're going to open beauty parlors, bowling alleys, etc etc.. it's safe enough to open the Gov mansions.. with masks, gloves, sanitizers, and safe distancing, of course!
