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.
