The Governor issues his first shelter in place order.

And, with the Dow having its worst quarter in over a century, how secure is money in the bank?

Then, after a Southern Remedy Health Minute, shut-down bars and concert venues are leaving gig workers gig-less. How one Mississippi musician is coping.

Segment 1:

Lauderdale County in east Mississippi is under a shelter in place order. Governor Tate Reeves issued the Executive Order yesterday as a means to slow the spread of the coronavirus in the county, which has seen a rapid increase in positive tests of COVID-19. Reeves says the action follows the new aggressive measures against the virus outlined by his coronavirus response team last week.

Segment 2:

COVID-19 is causing many concerns with consumers as the market suffered its worst quarter in over a century - but, the Mississippi Bankers association says access to money in the bank shouldn’t be one of them. Executive Order 1463, signed Governor Reeves last week, includes banks as essential services as defined by guidance from US Department of Homeland Security and the United States Treasury. Gordon Fellows is the President and CEO of the Mississippi Bankers Association. He says regulations help keep consumers' money safe.
