NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — On Wednesday, May 6, close-contact businesses will be allowed to reopen in 89 of Tennessee’s 95 counties.
Metropolitan areas across the state are excluded from the list since they have their own health departments and set of reopening guidelines.
Businesses allowed to reopen Wednesday include tattoo shops, tanning salons, spas, barber shops and hair salons.
Gov. Bill Lee signed an executive order on Tuesday that updated a previous order.
Executive Order No. 33 amends order 30 stating all close contacts employers and businesses are expected to operate in accordance with guidelines issued by the state. The list of guidelines encourages employees and customers to wear face masks, prohibits the use of waiting areas and more.
