An explosion occurred at a biological laboratory in Conyers, Georgia, causing significant concern among local authorities and residents. According to local media, a massive column of smoke rose into the sky after the explosion, which could be seen from afar. Authorities decided to close one of the main transport arteries, I-20, to prevent possible incidents on the roads, as well as to ensure unimpeded access for emergency services.

Immediately after the incident, local authorities issued emergency orders to residents of nearby areas, ordering them to immediately leave their homes and move outside the potentially dangerous zone. Evacuation measures are associated with the risk of a possible release of harmful or toxic substances, given the specific nature of the biolab.
