COVID 19 Update
The total COVID-19 case count for Tennessee as of Friday, is now 48,712 including 633 deaths, and 2,825 hospitalizations. A total of 1,822 new cases have been reported since Thursday. Local numbers cases/recovered/deaths; Cocke 90/41/0, Jefferson 125/63/0, and Sevier with its tourism trade has had 768/437/3. In the first major step back in reopening Nashville, the city will close bars for at least two weeks and tighten restrictions on restaurants and other businesses to combat the increasing number of coronavirus cases. Gatherings are capped at 25 people, and the planned downtown Independence Day fireworks display has been canceled. Mayor John Cooper singled out bars as an infection risk in the city, saying they were the source of a "record number of clusters" of new cases this week.
