Last week, the Shelby County Health Department released Health Directive #10 that went into effect Monday, August 10. According to Joan Carr, Public Information Officer with the SCHD, the major changes from No. 9 are:
1) Improvements/Set Backs and Responses chart added to show “tripwires” for reopenings/shutdowns. The Health Department will continue to share information about testing capacity, hospital capacity, and public health capacity with the mayors and other medical partners because those “responses” involve actions required by the health department and/or governmental partners.
2) Sports are addressed based on Governor Lee’s Executive Order 55 (there are also FAQs on the digital site that speak to sports (at the bottom of the page))
3) County courthouses are addressed (to limit too much traffic coming in)
