Medical experts and personnel in the area serviced by the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department and West Tennessee Healthcare support the use of social distancing and face covering and masks to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Follow CDC guidance for isolation and quarantine if you are a close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19 or if you are experiencing symtoms of COVID-19.
For employees of schools in Madison County and for students attending schools in Madison County, wear a face mask covering or mask except that a parent or guardian of a K-12 student attending a school in the Jackson-Madison County School System has a right to opt out of wearing a face mask covering or mask at school, on a school bus, or at school functions by providing written notice to JMCSS as long as Gov.
