On August 24, 2020, the Shelby County Health Department issued a revised Health Order and Directive Regarding Masks and Cloth Face Coverings, which may be viewed at www.shelbytnhealth.com/healthdirectives.
The Order and Directive requires the use of masks or cloth facial coverings in most public settings by all persons in Shelby County with the exceptions of children age two or younger and persons who cannot tolerate facial coverings because of certain medical conditions.
Please note, face masks with expiratory vents or valves are not recommended. The vents allow potentially infectious respiratory droplets to be expelled into the air and therefore do not prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Approved masks may be picked up, while supplies last, at all Shelby County Health Department locations listed below during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with the exception of the Collierville clinic, which is open Tuesday and Thursday only. No appointment is needed to pick up a mask.

Yesterday, I announced in partnership with City Council, we contributed $3.5 million in CARES Act funding to MIFA that will go to fund utility assistance programs (up to $200 per participant), as well as programs that offer food, rent and other assistance.
I want to make a couple more quick clarifying statements as we’ve had some questions.
To receive this utility assistance, you must be a Memphis resident with a COVID-19 related loss of income. Applications for those programs are expected to open next week, and we will share those specific application dates and more specific details about this program at that time.
As a reminder, MIFA provides utility assistance under other programs annually. Check their website for more information.

I just wanted to take a second to commend the great work of the YMCA of Memphis and the Mid-South. Throughout the course of this pandemic, they have been an invaluable partner, especially through their free childcare for essential workers program housed at 22 of our community centers. Below is a chart showing the utilization for June, July and August.
Through this partnership, we’ve helped 14,684 children by providing a safe and happy environment while their parents go to work.

Mayor Strickland has extended the State of Emergency. Click here to read the executive order.
I talked about this a couple times last week, and I want to remind everyone again—get tested if you feel sick. We have plenty of tests and multiple, convenient locations where you can get tested.
By the actions that so many are taking, we are continuing to keep the effective reproduction number below one, and we have pushed the doubling rate of the virus out even further to 45 days.
Additionally, we have made progress in the one area I talked about last week in which we needed to see reductions—our hospitalizations are beginning to trend downwards.
These numbers are still too high, but by your hard work, we’re starting to see some results.
Stay vigilant!

As each week passes, we’re continuing to see improvement in the fight against this virus. Our daily cases and positivity rate continues to drop as more and more people are wearing masks.
To further demonstrate what we’re doing is working, take a look at these numbers. These are averages from the weeks of 7/9/20 through 7/15/20 and 8/9/20 through 8/15/20.
| Dates | Tests | Daily Positives | Positivity Rate |

Below is a graph of cases by specimen collection date (date of testing).
Shelby County Health Department has added a data page to its COVID-19 webpage: www.shelbytnhealth.com/coronavirus. It includes information about the geographic distribution of COVID-19 cases in Shelby County.
All of Shelby County, including the municipalities and the unincorporated areas are under Safer at Home orders. Some non-essential businesses, including bars and some limited service restaurants have been ordered to close, under the current Health Directive No. 9. Health Directive No. 9 also orders all restaurants in Shelby County to close no later than 10:00 p.m. each night. These orders will remain in place under Health Directive No. 10.
Health Directive No. 10, announced on Friday, August 7, 2020, goes into effect on Monday, August 10, 2020. Substantive changes from Health Directive No. 9 include:
- Improvements/Set Backs and Responses chart added to show “tripwires” for re-openings/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.
- 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)
- County courthouses are addressed (to limit too much traffic coming in)

On July 3, and updated July 7, 2020, the Shelby County Health Department issued a Health Order and Directive Regarding Masks and Cloth Face Coverings, which may be viewed at www.shelbytnhealth.com/healthdirectives.
The Order and Directive requires the use of masks or cloth facial coverings in most public settings by all persons in Shelby County with the exceptions of children age two or younger and persons who cannot tolerate facial coverings because of certain medical conditions.
Please note, face masks with expiratory vents or valves are not recommended. The vents allow potentially infectious respiratory droplets to be expelled into the air and therefore do not prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Approved masks may be picked up, while supplies last, at all Shelby County Health Department locations listed below during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with the exception of the Collierville clinic, which is open Tuesday and Thursday only. No appointment is needed to pick up a mask.

Testing, testing, and more testing. If you’re feeling sick, get tested. If you’ve been exposed to someone with COVID-19, get tested. The tests are free, and as it stands right now, we have plenty of supplies. Visit https://covid19.memphistn.gov/ to find a location near you.
I know I talked about this yesterday, but it’s that important.
Through rigorous testing, diligent mask wearing, handwashing and social distancing, we are making progress. We’re seeing the results every day. Our positivity rate continues to decline, our hospitalizations are steadily going down, and the doubling rate of the virus continues to stretch out further.
That being said, this is no time to let our guard down. We keep doing the inconvenient work required to beat this virus.
Stay vigilant! Stay strong!
