I spent 4 hours on Lower Broadway Friday night as Nashville's health director + officers tried to get tourists to wear masks.

Here's what I saw: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/health/2020/08/03/broadway-partiers-ignore-nashville-mask-mandate/5567471002/
On Lower Broadway, partiers ignore Nashville's mask mandate with impunity

Efforts to gain compliance on COVID-19 safety measures in the city's tourism hub have found little success.

Despite warnings, majority of people are taking their masks off once officials move on. Or declining free masks or saying they have one...put away.

Definitely more masks than what I saw on July 4th weekend, but they're strapped on foreheads, around necks or shoved in pockets.

*Efforts* felt hopeless. Even if few agreed/took masks, many more party on unmasked.

Another weekend brings new tourists to educate, photos on social media.

No dedicated way to measure if they're taking infections home — how Nashville might be playing role in national hotspots

But Dr. Caldwell says he's not frustrated, seeing progress each day.

On Friday he asked for volunteers from health dept. to join him to support police.

Only two showed up. Maggie Sanchez, a 15 year employee and Sarah Kingsbury, a contact tracer on her 2nd day on the job.
