Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Today, I’m issuing Executive Order 193 which will extend previous orders giving the @NCDHHS Secretary the ability to temporarily waive industry regulations in order to speed vaccine distribution. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This is an improvement, but there is more work to be done when North Carolina’s population is 22 percent Black. Also in our Latinx community, vaccination rates have been especially low. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

North Carolina is making some progress in improving vaccine access for Black North Carolinians, although we have more to do. Last week, 18 percent of vaccines were administered to African Americans, up from 11 percent four weeks earlier. That’s a 65 percent increase. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It’s important to let the public know exactly what we’re doing. NC has been recognized nationally for our work sharing data about race and ethnicity with vaccinations and confirmed cases down to the county level. @NCDHHS will continue to make this information widely available. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our team has ramped up efforts to include vaccine providers that serve communities of color as we get vaccines to every county in the state. They're reaching out to underserved communities and paying attention to equity in how they allocate doses, including weekly vaccine events. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We are working to address those inequities. We can start by making sure that every community has access to these vaccines. And that means making a conscious effort to track the data and seek fairness in vaccine distribution. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The health care coverage gap in North Carolina has left many without access to a doctor. Add to that longstanding, systemic inequities in our healthcare system, and you can get mistrust of this vaccine as well as lack of preventative care. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Speed is critical, but we are also emphasizing equity. Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by this devastating pandemic, and the state is working to reduce the high rates of sickness that this population is experiencing. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I’m grateful for the work of @NCDHHS and the vaccine providers across this state who are delivering this life-saving vaccine as quickly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Distributing vaccine quickly and equitably remain our top priority in North Carolina. We continue running an efficient vaccine distribution and are getting all of North Carolina’s allocated first doses into arms each week before we receive the next shipment. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This virus and its variants are still spreading too easily. Doing the simple things that we know work, like wearing a mask and social distancing, will slow the spread and save lives until vaccines are more widely available. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our numbers remain stable, which is good. And we are encouraged to see a continued decline in our hospitalizations and percent of positive COVID-19 tests. Still, we must keep our guard up. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We've passed the grim milestone of 10,000 deaths in North Carolina, and it is a stark reminder of how dangerous this virus can be. Our prayers are with those who have lost loved ones to this cruel disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have had 802,065 lab-confirmed cases; 2,786 new cases reported since yesterday; 2,374 people in the hospital; and, sadly, 10,046 people who have died. — PolitiTweet.org

North Carolina is proud to be home to so many extraordinary small businesses. But don't take our word for it — hear what Tom Hanks has to say about Boone's own @FoggyPineBooks. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Black North Carolinians have helped our state become a stronger and more vibrant place to live and work. As we celebrate their achievements this month, let's continue to fight for healthier, more equitable communities. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/MeAeqa4zUJ — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see and hear North Carolina’s own @ericchurch help perform the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. — RC — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Thank you to Commissioner Vilma Leake for sharing her experience getting the vaccine. This safe and effective vaccine will save lives. Our state is continuing to ensure that every North Carolinian can get their shot when it’s their spot. https://t.co/eReSm9usEu — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Let’s continue following the strong safety measures in place and looking out for each other. We can defeat this pandemic and build back our communities and economy if we work together. https://t.co/oBHf1wzR56 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

North Carolina’s numbers are leveling, and we have less counties in the red zone than we did before. These are good signs, but the numbers are still too high. This virus is deadly and still spreading through our state. https://t.co/VYmHdTAJxN — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Many North Carolinians are living on the edge because of this pandemic, and it’s time to make strong investments to help them. This budget will help us defeat this pandemic and shape a stronger future for our state. https://t.co/oOl9Cqbl6l — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

For the first time, North Carolina has less counties in the red zone than we did two weeks earlier. This is encouraging, but there's still too much viral community spread. We can keep these numbers moving in the right direction by wearing our masks and doing what we know works. https://t.co/vAzz1dl9un — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We can build back our communities and create a brighter, healthier future for our state. Gov. Cooper's proposed budget will support families and small businesses while strengthening our economy, schools and health care system. https://t.co/k1WoLn987u https://t.co/MbIIWL1uJH — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I’ve talked to people who received an unemployment check for the first time ever who said they needed it to simply stay afloat. It’s time to help all of these North Carolinians and more. It’s time to get healthier and stronger. I know we can do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I’ve heard from small business owners living on the edge to keep their employees hired and their life’s work alive. I’ve Zoomed with friends who’ve lost family members to COVID who had to be apart from them when they died. — PolitiTweet.org
