Tennessee Governor Bill Lee held a news conference Tuesday to address the state’s ongoing rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
On Tuesday, the Tennessee Department of Health reported 1,841 new cases of COVID-19, raising the state’s total to 320,729 cases since the beginning of the pandemic.
From Monday Nov. 9 to Monday Nov. 16, the state Health Department reported 37,037 new cases.
The state’s hospitals have felt the pressure of rising cases. According to state Health Department data, we’ve seen hospitalizations rise from 1,543 last Monday to 1,929 today.
Governor Lee says they are working with Tennessee Hospital Association and other providers to make sure staffing continues and adequate capacity maintained.
He also said he will not be mandating how people celebrate Thanksgiving. He is asking Tennesseans to “stop and think” about how they are carrying out their day-to-day lives, and make common sense decisions, especially with regards to holidays and family gatherings.
The governor said his own family will not be gathering for their traditional holiday dinner with extended family.
