NEW: @GovBillLee has now issued stay at home order, citing Department of Transportation data showing Tennesseans were not doing that.
While @GovBillLee’s executive order earlier this week was “urging” Tennesseans to stay home, today’s will be “requiring” them to do so, his office says.
Don’t have details yet or info on how this will change which businesses can remain open.

It doesn’t appear there is any prohibition on outdoor exercise from what was issued earlier this week. The exec order states that “outdoor activity” is essential as long as people aren’t “congregating.” https://twitter.com/carigervin/status/1245818549375033346
