COVID-19 update: 'The second wave has begun'

The Tennessee Department of Health has reported a total of 31,160 cases of COVID-19 across the state, up 728 cases from the number on Sunday. Of those cases, 20,062 people have recovered, 2,106 have been hospitalized and 483 have died — up 166, 19 and eight, respectively, from the numbers 24 hours earlier. Over the weekend, the state reported an additional 1,306 cases, bringing the total number of active cases to 11,098.

A total of 14,726 test results were processed and reported since Sunday, bringing the statewide total to 629,769 tests administered. Last Friday, the state began reporting the total number of tests administered instead of the number of people tested to reflect the resources the health department is using to combat the virus. That change added nearly 60,000 previously uncounted swab tests.
