Even as a National State of Emergency remains in place, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced Tuesday the State of Emergency in Tennessee will continue through October, with adjustments made to previous executive orders.
Gov. Lee signed Executive Order No. 63 Tuesday to extend certain, targeted provisions of previous executive orders through October 30, including the authority of local governments to institute mask requirements. Remaining restrictions on businesses and gathering sizes in the 89 counties with a state-run health department have been removed.
Governor Lee also signed Executive Order No. 64, which extends through October 30 provisions that allow for remote notarization and witnessing of documents. Executive Order No. 60, which extends through October 28 provisions that allow for electronic government meetings subject to transparency safeguards, including the requirement of live broadcasts of electronic meetings to the public beginning October 1, remains in effect.

The city of Memphis, Tennessee, has already broken its record for killings in a calendar year with 230, even though there are still about three months left in 2020, police said Tuesday.
The deaths of a woman who was shot at a fast-food restaurant drive-thru over the weekend and a 12-year-old boy who was shot in a Memphis neighborhood on Monday moved Tennessee’s second-largest city above the previous record of 228 homicides in a year, set in 2016, Memphis police spokesman Louis Brownlee said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
Brownlee said 27 juveniles have been victims of a homicide so far this year. Police officials have said that they fear Memphis could reach 300 total homicides this year. Shelby County Health Department Director Alisa Haushalter said the COVID-19 pandemic has affected several aspects of public health, such as domestic violence, suicides and drug overdoses.
