MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Doctors are saying “not yet” to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee’s request for communities to end their mask mandates by Memorial Day.
The Shelby County Health Department said at the current rate of cases, there could be 6,000 new active COVID-19 cases in 30 days.
Nationally, COVID-19 cases have gone down about 20 percent, but still about 50,000 cases are being reported a day. Over the last month, we’ve seen case numbers go up in Shelby County, but we’ve still avoided fourth-wave level numbers. But still, doctors said taking off the masks could get us to that. Some are cautioning the county of getting rid of a mask mandate too soon.
