NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro has issued 48 civil warrants to businesses for not complying with the city’s mask order.

Hugh Atkins, with the Metro Public Health Department, confirmed the update Tuesday during Metro’s COVID-19 briefing. Atkins said the civil warrants were issued to businesses whose “employees were found out of compliance with the mask ordinance.”

Civil warrants seek monetary punishment, not jail time like an arrest warrant.

Atkins was also asked how many citations Metro police had issued since the order went into effect, but he said Metro Health doesn’t have that information. He said they would reach out to the police department to find out that number.

Metro’s mask order requires everyone to wear facial coverings in indoor and outdoor public spaces. It also requires businesses to post signage at their entrances stating all employees, customers and visitors must wear masks.

Anyone who violates the order faces a civil or criminal penalty, including a Class C Misdemeanor and a fine up to $50.
