Covid-19 Update, Move into Step 2.5 on Sept. 4th

Governor Cooper announced that, after a summer of hard work to slow the spread of COVID-19, NC will take a modest step forward into Phase 2.5 starting this Friday, September 4 at 5 p.m.

“Safer at Home Phase 2.5 continues our state’s dimmer switch approach to easing some restrictions,” said Governor Cooper. “We can do this safely only if we keep doing what we know works — wearing masks and social distancing. In fact, a new phase is exactly when we need to take this virus even more seriously.”

Anyone who has symptoms or has been exposed to COVID-19 should get tested. There are supports available to help people who may face challenges in being able to miss work or safely stay home.

And average daily cases have been on the rise for the last 2 weeks, after showing a decline for several weeks. I've already noticed certain businesses lifting some restrictions, since the GOP in person convention party. One way arrows in Publix were removed, some businesses removed signs on door requiring masks! NC, known for our PhD's and research triangle, is full of idiots too.

I missed Cooper's news conference. Thanks for posting this.
