The state's health department said in press release that the new high in daily cases is 'concerning.'
"North Carolina is using the data to guide our decisions about when to lift COVID-19 restrictions, and overall our key indicators remain stable. Safer At Home Phase 2 is another careful step forward, and we have to continue taking this virus seriously to prevent a dangerous spike in infections," Cooper stated.
Phase two lifts the stay-at-home order and replaces it with a"Safer at Home recommendation." While bars, night clubs, gyms, and movie theaters will remain closed in phase two, restaurants, salons and barbers shops are allowed to open at 50 percent capacity. Swimming pools can also open at half capacity.
"From the beginning, North Carolinians have joined together to confront this crisis. We need to rely upon one another to practice the three Ws as we begin leaving our homes more. When we wear a face covering, wait six feet apart, and wash our hands often, we are showing we care for our loved ones and neighbors," Cohen said in the Wednesday statement.
