He wants those counties to use Shelby County as an example and adopt the same restrictions. That includes areas like DeSoto County, Mississippi, which leads the state in confirmed COVID-19 cases at 77.

“It does concern me that our neighboring counties are not implementing the kind of social distancing orders that we are in Shelby County, and they're going to be using our hospitals,” Strickland said. "They need to step up and do the right thing."
