Tedford shared the news during the department’s daily briefing.
Tedford also spoke about the fact that some restaurants reopened Monday at 50 percent capacity, per the “Tennessee Pledge” guidelines. She also said restaurants with buffets can reopen, but servers have to serve the food to customers.

There will not be a provider fee, you can call ahead, drive-up or walk-up for testing.
