Nashville’s public health department will continue to provide COVID-19 patient information to first responders, despite yesterday’s announcement from Gov. Bill Lee that his office will discontinue that practice, WPLN reports. Metro Public Health Director Michael Caldwell said Nashville was never signed onto the state’s program and that first responders have been receiving patient’s addresses directly from the local health department. Caldwell said access to that data is limited and expires within a month or when the patient recovers from the virus.
