Georgia delays primary election

Georgia has delayed its presidential primary due to coronavirus. The primary, which was originally scheduled for March 24, will now be held on May 19.

Georgia is the second state to delay its presidential primary. Louisiana rescheduled its April 4 primary to June 20 on Friday.

The virus, which has infected more than 2,700 people across the United States, has prompted school closures, the cessation of professional sports and, in many places, a prohibition on large public gatherings.
