Summary
Lee, who has urged people to wear masks, continued to advise against a statewide mandate Friday in an online news conference, in which he didn’t mention the White House’s instruction a few days earlier.“Statewide, one-size-fits-all mandates are not as effective in many cases as local decision making,” Lee said.In a statement late Friday, the governor’s office said the White House report had not altered his thinking.“The governor has strongly encouraged Tennesseans to make responsible decisions to protect themselves and others from COVID-19, including wearing masks in public, avoiding large gatherings, and staying home when sick,” the statement said.
