The "Safer At Home" emergency directive has been passed shutting down all Non Essential Business, as the cases of COVID-19 continue to rise. As of 10.00 am 371 cases have been identified in the state.

Mayor orders non essential business to close

Today, to protect Nashvillians and slow the spread of #COVID19, I have announced a Safer at Home Executive Order for all of Metro Nashville and Davidson County. In order to save lives and reduce the strain on regional healthcare resources as much as possible, I ask all individuals living in Davidson County to stay home, except to go out for essential needs. Following the actions we have already taken this week, this is the next step to protect our community and slow the spread of the virus by closing non-essential businesses and asking individuals to please stay home.

Beginning at midnight tonight and lasting for 14 days, all businesses not performing essential services will close and social gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited. All bars and restaurants will remain closed except for delivery, take-out, curbside, or drive through options.
This formalizes what many residents and businesses are already doing on their own. It is a difficult decision, especially because of the impact it will have on our businesses, but it is necessary to protect the health and safety of our family, friends and neighbors. The faster we contain #COVID19, the faster we can return to business. We’re in this together. Thank you for your cooperation.
 

I don't think people here are taking the shutdown seriously. There is still a lot of traffic out on the roads, a lot of stores open that are not "essential services," (e.g. liquor store, Sally's beauty supply, a local beauty shop, the car wash place...all open)

The longer people continue to not take this threat seriously, the more danger the public at large will be in.

In most communities liquor stores ARE an essential service. Not joking, true.

Oh I get that! Though I have no problem doing without my afternoon cocktail it has been helpful in keeping my anxiety under control in this current climate so I was pleased that I found an open store when many are closed.

Even so, liquor stores weren’t on the list of “essential services” that was published as part of the executive order. So I found it surprising that any remained open.
