Gov. Bill Lee on Friday extended Tennessee's state of emergency for the coronavirus for two weeks, the Tennessean reports. Lee also extended an executive order that allows parents to opt their children out of mask regulations at schools, regardless of local restrictions. Lee said he extended the orders by two weeks while he analyzes the impact of a number of bills recently passed by the state legislature. The orders will now expire on Nov. 19.
