In a surprise reversal, Tennessee's top health agency announced that it will provide locations for where coronavirus cases had been confirmed after initially refusing to do so.

The agency has since provided county data for each coronavirus case, showing that four cases have been in Williamson County - a fact that had previously been kept hidden from the public. Three other cases have been confirmed in Shelby, Davidson and Sullivan counties.

The health department's original stance to keep location data hidden from the public had sparked alarm among some officials worried the move would only stir public mistrust.
