A state of emergency remains in effect for Tennessee even though Gov. Bill Lee recently declined to extend an executive order in response to the pandemic according to Tennessee Lookout. The state is currently at a level 3 designation under the Tennessee Emergency Management Plan, which is activated when a serious emergency or minor disaster has occurred or a situation is deteriorating rapidly and public warnings are being issued. Because of that designation, several government departments are still “engaged in COVID” response, a Tennessee Emergency Management Agency spokesperson tells the paper.
