NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Governor Bill Lee will allow the state's "Safer-at-Home" order to expire on April 30 with the most businesses in 89 counties allowed to re-open on May 1.

“Our Economic Recovery Group is working with industry leaders around the clock so that some businesses can open as soon as Monday, April 27,” said Gov. Lee in a press release. “These businesses will open according to specific guidance that we will provide in accordance with state and national experts in both medicine and business.”
Gov. Lee emphasized that even though businesses will be reopening, it's important for social distancing guidelines to remain in place.

is a businessman with no experience in nor knowledge of public service and public policy.
