I waited to send my newsletter until after Governor Lee’s 3:00 PM press conference in order to have an update on his Executive Orders. The Governor announced that his Safer at Home mandate will be extended until April 30. At that time, he intends to begin a phased reopening of the economy. Again, the Governor’s Safer at Home mandate has been extended until April 30.
According to the Tennessee Department of Health, 43 residents of Cumberland County have tested positive for COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, 796 have tested negative, and 10 have recovered. Contact tracing is standard in all cases, so if you have been in close contact with someone that has tested positive, you will be notified.
These numbers are intended to be a brief summary of the information provided by the Tennessee Department of Health. More detailed information can be found here:
