Gov. Tate Reeves on Tuesday extended an executive order adding Neshoba County and 18 other counties under a mandatory mask ordinance due to the rise in COVID-19 cases.
Reeves and State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs also recommended that for Thanksgiving families have smaller gatherings — possibly outdoors — to help curb the spread.
Cases were increasing in local schools.
Mississippians who are diagnosed with COVID-19 are required by law to quarantine at home as are members of the same household under most cases, officials said.
