Tennessee Governor Lee Issues Executive Order 54

Posted 07-03-20.

Today, Governor Lee issued Executive Order 54, which grants certain county mayors, including Sevier County’s, the authority to issue COVID-19 mask requirements. City and county leaders are consulting with the Sevier County Health Department and legal counsel to determine the implementation of this order in Sevier County. We hope to have a determination by Monday based on those consultations.
