Metro Public Health Department reports 1,224 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Nashville/Davidson County, an increase of 84 cases over the last 48 hours (after previous numbers were adjusted in the wake of a computer issue). The county has 13 deaths, 44 hospitalized, 204 recovered, and the rest active cases where those affected are self-isolating at home.

Mayor Cooper reminded everyone Metro's 'Safer at Home' order is in place through April 24.
