COVID-19: Laws, Policies, Procedures, and Legal Resources for Tennessee

COVID-19 is a global pandemic unlike one we have ever seen before. COVID-19 has extracted a significant health, financial, and emotional toll on all states, including Tennessee. In response to COVID-19, lawmakers have taken and enacted numerous measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, “flatten the curve,” and protect the livelihood of Tennesseans. Nearly all industries are affected – law firms, courts, schools, restaurants, sports, healthcare, salons, transportation, banks, and more. With “Safer at Home” orders, Executive Orders, and guidance for reopening the economy, Tennessee lawmakers are charged with analyzing the applicable medical data, monitoring the science, and making determinations on how Tennessee can proceed and move forward as a state. With policies, procedures, and information changing at a rapid pace, this section is designed to be a resource for all Tennesseans whose lives have been affected by COVID-19 including employees, employers, parents, homeowners, renters, and more. At NST Law, we recognize how our citizens’ lives have been substantially affected and uprooted in an instant, through no fault of their own. These are difficult times, but we are all in it together.
