US president Donald Trump said he told Georgia governor Brian Kemp he disagreed with his plan to reopen certain businesses this month, saying it was ‘too soon’ for businesses like spas, beauty salons and tattoo parlours to reopen. ‘They can wait a little bit longer, just a little bit – not much. Because safety has to predominate. We have to have that. So I told the governor very simply that I disagree with his decision but he has to do what he thinks is right,’ Trump said at the White House coronavirus news briefing. Kemp, a Republican, is allowing gyms, hair salons, bowling alleys and tattoo and massage parlours to reopen on Friday, followed by movie houses and restaurants next week
