Deciding to stay home or say no to an invitation to get together indoors can be hard, especially with people we know and trust, but it is necessary to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Dr. Cohen will issue a new Secretarial Directive to caution in stark terms against leaving home for any reason other than work, school, exercise, health care needs or groceries. Simply put, don’t go places indoors where people aren’t wearing masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I’m extending for 3 weeks the modified Stay At Home Order that requires people to be home between 10 pm - 5 am. Our other strong safety measures remain in place: the statewide mask mandate, closure of indoor bars and limits on mass gatherings and retail establishment capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

A new, highly contagious strand of the virus has been detected in the United States. We need to act as if it’s already here in North Carolina even though it hasn’t yet been confirmed. This should inspire every one of us to double down on safety precautions. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

In North Carolina, we have seen some of our highest case counts, percent positives, hospitalizations and ICU bed usage numbers in the past few days. As Dr. Cohen will show, 96 counties are now labeled as “red” or “orange,” meaning critical or substantial virus spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have had 582,348 confirmed cases, 6,952 new cases, 3,893 people are in the hospital, and sadly, 7,076 people have died. We are sending our prayers to those who have lost loved ones to this virus and to the people who are fighting it now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ensuring COVID-19 vaccines are administered quickly is our top priority right now. We will use all resources and personnel needed. I’ve mobilized the NC National Guard to provide support to local health providers as we continue to increase the pace of vaccinations. - RC — PolitiTweet.org

Our hospitalization numbers are alarming. We must protect hospital capacity so anyone who gets sick for any reason can get the care they need. It’s up to all of us to prevent our health care system from being overwhelmed. https://t.co/YelrUK4DAU — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The first two days of this year have broken case count records. These numbers need to be a wake up call. Wear a mask and follow the safety measures in place to drive down the numbers. It takes all of us doing our part. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

While we’re all ready to turn the page on a new year, we have to remember this virus won’t disappear at midnight tonight. Let’s start 2021 strong by recommitting our efforts to doing what we know works — wearing our masks, following safety measures and avoiding large gatherings. — PolitiTweet.org

Many families are struggling to make ends meet, having to make impossible choices due to this pandemic. Extending the eviction moratorium will help them stay in their homes, where they’re safest from COVID-19, as we work to stop the spread of this virus. https://t.co/Jn6wC4Fzu3 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Kwanzaa to all those celebrating African and African American culture this holiday season. As the 5th principle Nia, meaning Purpose, is celebrated today, let's recommit to greatness and abundance for the communities that need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Today Gov. Cooper issued an Executive Order extending North Carolina’s evictions moratorium through January 31, 2021. This Order will help families stay in their homes so we can slow the spread of this virus. https://t.co/o1GSAP5mRj https://t.co/7Pi0ubsx43 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our collective New Year’s resolution should be keeping each other safe in 2021. Most North Carolinians worked hard to care for one another in 2020. Let’s keep that spirit going as we turn the page on a new year and prepare to turn the corner on this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Let’s live up to our ideals by doing what we know works – wear a mask, practice social distancing, avoid gatherings where the virus can spread easily. And remember, this New Year’s Eve, we still have a modified Stay At Home order in place from 10 PM to 5 AM. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

When we rang in 2020, we didn’t expect to be closing it out in the grips of a global pandemic. But here we are. We’ve learned a great deal about how to combat COVID-19 since this virus emerged. But we’ve also learned a lot about our communities and ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Using the guidance from independent federal and state advisory committees, North Carolina continues to work to get this vaccine to people as quickly as possible. The vaccine and more funding from the federal government have provided a glimmer of hope at the end of a long year. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

There’s a lot they have to do, including following the state’s rules on order of priority. Secretary Cohen and I have asked leaders from the state’s clinical boards and associations to provide us with recommendations on the best way to enforce those vaccine priority rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We remain in the first phase, 1a, vaccinating frontline health care workers and staff and residents in our nursing homes and other long-term care settings. Our hospitals and local health departments are working hard to get the vaccine to people. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We have to protect ourselves and each other every day, every week, every month. The vaccines offer hope, but this hope will take time to fulfill. We continue to distribute the vaccines across the state as quickly as we get them. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As we move ahead with getting this support to those who need it, we must not lose sight of our primary goal – preventing the spread of COVID-19 so we can save lives and revitalize our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The federal package also includes funding specifically for rental assistance, and we expect North Carolina to receive about $700 million for that purpose. When North Carolina receives these resources, I plan to work with the General Assembly to disburse it quickly & effectively. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The President signed legislation providing $900B in total funding for vaccine distribution, schools, direct payments to individuals, help for small businesses and hospitals. There is an extension of federal unemployment assistance and direct payments to qualifying families. — PolitiTweet.org
