Neshoba County reported 169 new COVID-19 cases and one new death over the past week, according to the Mississippi Department of Health’s Tuesday report. Call (601) 663-1221 to sched- ule a drive-thru testing appoint- ment on the Neshoba General campus. Philadelphia Mayor James A. Young said he has not instituted a citywide mask mandate but has ordered one at City Hall because of City Court. The city and county schools as of press time Tuesday had not issued mask mandates for the start of school later this week. Choctaw Tribal schools have a mask mandate on buses and in facilities.
