Cumberland County COVID 19 Count increases to 9, Tennessee cases reach 1537

Report from Cumberland County Mayor Allen Foster: 

You ARE safer at home!  Please stay home to the greatest extent possible!
 
As of this writing, I have been notified by the TN Department of Health (TDH) that nine residents of Cumberland County have tested positive for COVID-19, the novel coronavirus.  That is an increase of three since Thursday, March 26.  As I have previously mentioned, contact tracing is standard in all cases, so if you have been in close contact with someone that has tested positive, you will be notified.  That is all the information that has been released at this time.  The expanded capability of testing at the Health Department and primary care facilities will likely continue to show increases in positive tests.  The Health Department will continue testing Monday – Friday from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM. For more information call 931-484-6196. 
 
Please keep yourself safe.  Follow the guidelines that we have been talking about for weeks.  You can help to slow the spread.  That isn’t just a sentiment, it is the truth.  Please do your part.

  1. Why don't you people tell us who these folks are! Were still a small country town where everybody knows everyone some where along the line. If you give us a name we pretty much know where that person has been depending on which part of the county they live in.
