IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT COVID - 19 YOU CAN CALL: TDH CONFIRMS ADDITIONAL CASES OF COVID-19 IN GREENE AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES For more information click here Hawkins County Mayor Announces First Confirmed Case of COVID 19 in Hawkins County I just wanted to confirm the information going around that we have a confirmed case of the COVID19 virus here in Hawkins County. This is not unexpected or a surprise, it was a matter of time. We won't have any further information pertaining to age or location until tomorrow. Again, let me reiterate that there is still no need for panic. Be calm and be good neighbors. If you are elderly or have a compromised immune system, I would strongly encourage you to limit social interaction. If you need more information please contact my office. As more information becomes available from the Tennessee Health Department, I will do my best to keep you informed. Jim Lee Rogersville/Hawkins County COVID-19 Volunteers collecting items for Front Line Workers Rogersville/Hawkins County COVID-19 Volunteers are collecting the following items to help our Front Line Workers in their fight against COVID-19. What we are collecting: Drop off at Colonial Mini Storage, 700 Locust Street, Rogersville The Hawkins County Clerks office is altering the way we do business amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, we are trying to reduce the spread. Currently, both the Rogersville & Church Hill locations are open but are providing limited services. There will be no locations open on Saturday's until further notice. The Drivers License Express Office is closed until further notice. Governor Lee has extended the renewal deadline for a drivers license for 6 months as well as a hand gun permit. Vehicle registration renewals can be done online www.tncountyclerk.com, use the drop boxes out side either county clerk location, use the us postal service to mail us your renewal. Currently, Governor Lee has issue an Executive Order that extends a valid vehicle registration until June 15, 2020 so you DO NOT have to renew a license plate expiring in March, April or May. For new residents to Tennessee, since some county offices are completely closed or closed to walk in customers, new residents that have a valid license plate from another state should wait until a later date to title and register in Tennessee. Customers can still mail in the paperwork to their county offices for processing. Tenn. Code Ann. 55-4-101(b)(2) provides that any regularly licensed passenger motor vehicle that is not operated for hire and is owned by a nonresident who establishes residency in this state may be operated in this state for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days from the date that residency is established. Therefore, a person who moves to Tennessee from another state should register their vehicle within 30 days of the move, but we understand there could be a delay due to the impact of COVID-19. The County Clerks Office has opened a drive-thru location. Visit the stand alone drive thru on West Main Street in Rogersville next to First Community bank. COVID-19 Response There’s now an opportunity for locals to help the region get ahead of the COVID-19 situation. In response to the region's current and projected economic situation, several economic development and tourism leaders have created an online information sharing platform called the Appalachian Highlands Economic Aid Directory (AHEAD). The directory will be used to let the public know what businesses are doing during the quarantine. Businesses will be able to input information such as take out options, closures and other information that could assist them until the situation improves. The form asks for a point of contact, business name, email address, phone number, the city, the county, hours of operation, type of business, operations and most importantly provides a space to tell others how to help. This information will also be helpful when speaking to local, state, and federal agencies in the coming months once the overall impact from COVID-19 can truly be accessed. Once all the information shared by business leaders is collected, the site will launch with listings, resources, tools and stories from around the region. The intent of this portal will be for locals to learn how to help each other. The directory will be launched within the coming days. "It's difficult when our industry is dependent upon the public, and it is such a hard decision to temporarily suspend operations, furlough staff, or postpone an event in the best interests of your employees and customers," Northeast Tennessee Tourism Executive Director Alicia Phelps said. "However, there are still opportunities to support businesses in our area by shopping online, gift cards, ordering to-go and delivery services, as well as planning a future trip. There are also businesses that are still open, as well as outdoor opportunities. Right now the most important thing is your health and safety, and folks are strongly advised to take certain precautions and use their best judgement. This region has a strong sense of community and is unbelievably resilient. This too shall pass, and when it does, the tourism and hospitality industry will be there to support our local economy. We must lean on each other now more than ever." Partners involved in this effort so far are: Bristol Chamber of Commerce, Johnson City Chamber of Commerce, Kingsport Chamber of Commerce, NETWORKS Sullivan Partnership, Northeast Tennessee Tourism Association and Northeast Tennessee Regional Economic Partnership. The input portal is available now. To submit information, go online to www.regionAHEAD.com.
