“Staying at home in this urgent moment is our best defense to turn the tide against COVID-19,” Norton said. “Smyrna is a strong community and we will all get through this together.”

The latest measures follow Norton's order issued last week that limited restaurants to take-out service, banned public gatherings and events that include 10 or more people and closed bars, night clubs, skating rinks, gyms, trampoline parks and private social clubs. Grocery stores and day cares are exempt from the executive order.
