Great Dem.leadership & reporting to public!

"I know we are all eager to get to other side of this, but now is not the time to be complacent. It's the time to be vigilant," Mayor Harris said.

Shelby County's confirmed COVID-19 cases - at around 850 and 19 deaths Tuesday afternoon - continue to rise.

Those with the Shelby County Health Department said they've identified and quarantined about 1300 people who came into contact with those infected, and finished the investigations of more than 3/4 of those cases.

"Now we are seeing much more cases of those above 60 and above 80," Shelby County Health Director Dr. Alisa Haushalter said.
