The Tennessee Supreme Court today issued an order supplementing its COVID-19 order of Nov. 17 to require those who enter a courthouse to comply with current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control regarding quarantine and isolation. CDC guidelines call for a seven-day quarantine for anyone who comes into close contact with an infected individual and gets a negative test; a10-day quarantine for anyone who comes into close contact with an infected individual and does not get tested, or anyone who gets a positive test but has no symptoms; and a 10-day isolation for anyone who has COVID-19 symptoms. Isolation should continue until 24 hours with no fever (without fever-reducing medication) and until other symptoms are improving.
