Caldwell County reports no new confirmed cases as of 4 p.m. on March 30.
The statewide stay-at-home order went into effect at 5 p.m. today. The order instructs people to stay at home except to seek medical assistance, food, or other essentials. Under the order, people can:
- Go to work, if they are providing essential services
- Go to the grocery store or pharmacy
- Go to medical appointments after checking first with their medical provider
- Go to restaurants for take out, delivery, or drive thru
- Go outside for exercise, but remember social distancing guidance
- Care for a family member
- Volunteer
While people are permitted to leave their homes to provide for essential needs, it is important to stay home as much as possible and to practice social distancing whenever out in public. These are necessary steps to “lower the curve” and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
