NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â As Metro prepares to lift all capacity restrictions on businesses and gatherings on Friday, the indoor mask mandate is staying put. Masks, weâve known for a long time, are the best defense against the spread of the virus, said Hugh Atkins, the Bureau Director for Environmental Health Services. We want to be cautious and not remove all the restrictions.
Atkins said the indoor mask mandate applies to everyone, whether they are vaccinated or not. Local businesses owners have the option of implementing any restrictions they feel would keep employees or customers safe.
