Cloth Masks
I received word today that Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has temporarily halted distribution of the free COVID-19 masks following a news report raising safety concerns about an anti-microbial agent used to treat the black, knitted cloth coverings. That is all the news I have at this point. If you have any questions please contact Mindy Dole at the Cumberland County Health Department at mindy.doyle@tn.gov for more information.
