SHELBY CO., Tenn. (WMC) - As residents and small business owners await an updated Shelby County health directive, many are asking the health department to stay away from large scale shutdowns.
A draft order leaked over the weekend showing the department is considering going back to a stay-at-home order, shutting down indoor dining.
A large group of restaurateurs and wait staff gathered Monday in downtown Memphis to protest such an order. They say theyâve been following guidelines to the letter and support enforcement on those who arenât, but they donât support being forced to close.
