Coronavirus NC: Gov. Roy Cooper issues (Partial) stay-at-home order (Request) for the state

Via Susan

The order permits the following businesses to remain open:
  • Restaurants that provide take-out, drive-thru, or delivery
  • Grocery stores
  • ABC stores and beer and wine stores ( I can only imagine what would happen if he did.)
  • Doctors and other healthcare providers
  • Pharmacies
  • Hardware stores
  • Post offices
  • Office supply stores
  • Gas stations and convenience stores
  • Veterinarians and pet supply stores
  • Hotels, airlines, buses, taxis, and rideshare services
  • Places of worship
  • Child care providers (that are following the required NCDHHS procedures)
Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statewide stay-at-home order during a Friday afternoon briefing in an additional effort to curb the COVID-19 pandemic.

The stay-at-home order will go into effect at 5 p.m. Monday.

"To continue our aggressive battle to slow the spread of COVID-19, today, I have signed a stay-at-home order for the entire state of North Carolina. Enforcement begins at 5 p.m. on Monday, but we urge you to start as soon as possible," Cooper said.

The order calls for all North Carolina citizens to reduce their travel, staying home as much as possible. It does not ban essential business or make it illegal for citizens to be outside their homes to get fresh air. (Ahhh, so kind of him)

    1. I heard that he said he wanted this to work as he didn't wish to order Martial Law, though I haven't seen this in print. Order that, stop all alcohol sales,and then see what happens.
