NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Mike Osborne)  --  Nashville put some teeth in its pandemic Emergency Health Orders over the weekend.

Fourteen Metro businesses were issued citations by city health inspectors for coronavirus crisis orders non-compliance. A court will decide any fines.

Nashville Health Director Dr. Michael Caldwell personally investigated Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk Friday night. He determined the venue was allowing patrons to sit at the bar, failing to enforce social distancing or the required use of masks.
