Tennessee saw the largest one-day spike in COVID-19 cases even as Gov. Bill Lee has announced the phased "re-opening" of Tennessee this week. Here's more on the spike in cases from the Associated Press:

Tennessee has reported its biggest one-day jump in confirmed coronavirus cases as the state continues to increase testing efforts.

The Tennessee Department of Health said there were at least 9,667 confirmed cases as of Sunday. The 478 new cases represents a 5.2% jump from Saturday’s total. The Tennessean reports it’s the highest number of new virus cases recorded in one day in the state.

At least 181 people have died from the virus in Tennessee.

Meanwhile, Hendersonville Mayor Jamie Clary has announced his city will also proceed with a reopening. 

Of course, some residents of Sumner County are stockpiling guns to shoot the virus.
