MEMPHIS, Tenn. The news about our current data certainly causes us to pause, Shelby County Health Officer Dr. Bruce Randolph said.
Those at the Shelby County Health Department are keeping a close eye - but not concerned yet - after 262 new COVID-19 cases were reported Thursday, the highest one-day jump since February 13th. The real question that we are going to have to watch over the next seven days is, is this a trend where we continue to see higher numbers of cases like this, or is it a blip? Shelby County Health Deputy Director David Sweat said.
