State Orders Regarding Businesses and Activity Restrictions Due to COVID-19
Last updated: 7/7/20 at 2:30 PM
Updated information is highlighted.
NOTE: Many states and municipalities that have stay-at-home orders are not completely clear
on whether transportation companies’ employees and drivers are essential, meaning they can
be at a work location, traveling, or out driving. FMCSA issued guidance asking states and
municipalities to consider that the Department of Homeland Security through the Cybersecurity
Infrastructure Security Agency has declared transportation personnel and supporting personnel
to be essential. It may be helpful to provide a copy of the FMCSA document that is available at

The order provides for the continuation of essential businesses throughout every county. Uses CISA criteria. https://publications.tnsosfiles.com/pub/execorders/exec-orders-lee22.pdf The mayors of Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown and Memphis have issued “safer-at-home” orders to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, otherwise known as COVID-19.

All licensed health care professionals can return to work with a few restrictions such as, hospitals must keep 15% of their capacity for COVID-19 patients. Museums and libraries will also be allowed to open at 25% capacity, but hands-on exhibits must remain closed. The order supersedes local orders and the stay-at-home order will be allowed to expire.
