HOTLINES FOR PEOPLE WITH SYMPTOMS

For Tennesseans who have questions about COVID-19:
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.

We remain in regular communication with our public health partners and national hospitality industry advocates regarding the latest updates and appropriate preparations. We have always taken critical situations seriously and managed them well and will continue to be vigilant and communicative with our national and local partners, our clients and public health experts.
