COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — To further combat the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Town of Collierville Mayor Stan Joyner issues a Safer at Home Executive Order that will go into effect beginning Tuesday, March 24, at 6 p.m.

On those occasions when residents are out of their homes for essential activities, they are urged to stay at least six feet away from others.
“The Safer at Home Order is to further protect the community to help to slow down the spread of COVID-19,” said Mayor Joyner. “Please do not leave your homes unless it is absolutely necessary. We have to commit to these actions together to protect ourselves and each other.”
