The MSDH Public Health Laboratory is testing samples submitted by Mississippi physicians and healthcare providers around the state in cases where COVID-19 is determined to be a risk. Anyone with symptoms of fever, severe cough or severe chest pains – especially those who are older or in poor health – should call their doctor or healthcare provider for instructions on safely being examined. Healthcare providers can assess your health history and symptoms, and perform testing for COVID-19 as needed.

The Tippah County Board of Supervisors has issued a Shelter-in-Place and Curfew Ordinance that will be in effect from 5:00am on April 2, 2020 until 5:00am on April 15 unless extended by the Board of Supervisors or superseded by other orders of the Governor or other authorities.
