Nashville Mayor John Cooper today signed an executive order requiring face masks indoors at all city buildings, effective tomorrow, the Tennessean reports. The order comes after a new wave of COVID-19 infections tied to the more contagious Delta variant. Shelby County, Hamilton County and the City of Knoxville have all previously enacted mask mandates for city buildings as well. Metro’s mandate applies to all Metro employees and members of the public, and it will be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.
