Five COVID-19 cases were reported today — one in the 28645 Zip code, one in 28638, one in 28630, and two in 28611. Three patients are under 24 years old; one is between 25 and 64; and one is over the age of 65.
Today North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced that residents will be required to wear face coverings in public and the state’s Phase 2 will continue for three more weeks.
Beginning Friday, June 26, at 5 p.m., face coverings will be required in retail business; restaurants; personal care, grooming, and tattoo businesses; child care facilities, day camps, and overnight camps for adults and children over 11 years-old; state government agencies; manufacturing, construction, and agricultural settings where social distancing is difficult; in meat or poultry processing plants; long-term care facilities; and other health care settings.
The order does not require face coverings for a worker, customer, or patron who:
- Should not wear a face covering due to any medical or behavioral condition
- Is under 11 years-old
- Is actively eating or drinking
- Is strenuously exercising
- Is seeking to communicate with someone who is hearing-impaired
- Is giving a speech for a broadcast or to an audience
- Is working at home or is in a personal vehicle
- Is temporarily removing his or her face covering to secure government or medical services or for identification purposes
- Would be at risk from wearing a face covering at work, as determined by local, state, or federal regulations or workplace safety guidelines
- Has found that his or her face covering is impeding visibility to operate equipment or a vehicle
- Is a child whose parent, guardian, or responsible person has been unable to place the face covering safely on the child’s face
