The Blount County Commission held an emergency meeting on Sunday amid concerns over a flu outbreak in the area. Two schools closed earlier this week due to the increase in cases, prompting the Commission to call an emergency meeting.
Chairman Bradley Harvey announced the meeting in advance, citing the growing health issue as the reason for the sudden gathering. The Commission plans to resume normal operations after the holidays, but will provide updates on any further developments.
