In a rare statewide address last night, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said he had issued Executive Order 70 to restrict some — but not all — indoor public gatherings to 10 people and to limit spectators at indoor youth sporting events. Exempt events include weddings, worship services and those where people can stay six feet apart. The governor also urged Tennesseans to follow COVID-19 guidelines, including wearing a mask to slow the spread of the virus, but stopped short of a mask mandate. The new order came on the heels of news that First Lady Maria Lee had tested positive for COVID-19. The new guidance will remain in place through Jan. 19, 2021. Nashville Public Radio has more on the development.
