The Tennessee Department of Health has launched a Coronavirus Public Information Line: (877) 857-2945. This line is available daily 11am-11pm (Eastern Time Zone). Call volume may be high, so callers are urged to call again if getting a busy signal.

Additionally, anyone with suspicious symptoms and concerns about their health should contact their health care provider. If you have symptoms and plan to visit a medical facility, it is recommended that you call the facility in advance so they can best prepare to treat you.
