I just wanted to take a second to commend the great work of the YMCA of Memphis and the Mid-South. Throughout the course of this pandemic, they have been an invaluable partner, especially through their free childcare for essential workers program housed at 22 of our community centers. Below is a chart showing the utilization for June, July and August.
Through this partnership, we’ve helped 14,684 children by providing a safe and happy environment while their parents go to work.

On August 24, 2020, the Shelby County Health Department issued a revised Health Order and Directive Regarding Masks and Cloth Face Coverings, which may be viewed at www.shelbytnhealth.com/healthdirectives.
The Order and Directive requires the use of masks or cloth facial coverings in most public settings by all persons in Shelby County with the exceptions of children age two or younger and persons who cannot tolerate facial coverings because of certain medical conditions.
Please note, face masks with expiratory vents or valves are not recommended. The vents allow potentially infectious respiratory droplets to be expelled into the air and therefore do not prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Approved masks may be picked up, while supplies last, at all Shelby County Health Department locations listed below during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with the exception of the Collierville clinic, which is open Tuesday and Thursday only. No appointment is needed to pick up a mask.
