I’ve spoken with Sheriff Keith Stone and family of Deputy Jared Allison, and I join them in mourning his tragic death. Deputy Allison made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the people of Nash County, and I’m deeply grateful for his service. - RC — PolitiTweet.org

With a vaccine so close on the horizon, we need to keep doing what we know works to slow the spread of this virus and help save lives these next few months. Don’t give up now when help is on the way. https://t.co/84m3YKdeDh — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t give up now. We need to work together and stay vigilant. If we do, I know we will get through this. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I appreciate the continued efforts of local governments – like the city of Asheville, Buncombe County and the city of Winston-Salem – that are increasing enforcement of our existing strong orders. This enforcement can bring our numbers down and keep us from having to go backward. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Practice social distancing. Any time we leave the house. Any time we are near people we don’t live with. These simple measures do save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Wear a mask. If there’s ever a question about when we should put on a mask, err on the side of wearing it. It’s an easy way to protect our families & neighbors that’ll help boost the economy. When we all wear our masks, we help keep businesses open and customers & employees safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Within the next few weeks there will likely be at least one approved vaccine. And with hope so close on the horizon, we have to keep using the tools we know slow the spread of this virus to help save lives during the next few months. Don’t give up now when help is on the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As the states are shouldering the job of vaccine distribution, we need more support and resources from Washington. I know Congress is facing a deadline this month to keep the government running. I implore them to do more to support families, small businesses and the states. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I have confidence in this process. Health care workers, people in long-term care and those at risk for severe illness will come first. But when it’s my turn to get this vaccine, I’ll be ready to roll up my sleeve. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

And when it comes to determining safety, before the FDA will authorize these vaccines, an independent advisory board will review the data for safety. This advisory board has no loyalties to any company, political administration or individual. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

These vaccines have made progress so quickly because of significant improvements in science and technology. Researchers, like we have here in North Carolina, have been working on new vaccine technology for several years in preparation for a global pandemic like this. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The COVID-19 vaccine will be free regardless of whether someone has health insurance. Health care providers are being enrolled in the vaccination program based on ability to reach priority populations. Trusted providers like hospitals will be among the first to vaccinate people. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our state is preparing to receive the Pfizer vaccine that requires ultra-cold storage. We’re a big state with rural areas that stretch for hundreds of miles. Every person is important, and we’ll work hard to overcome challenges that our geography presents. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

For months, @NCDHHS has been developing a plan to distribute the vaccine so we can get past this pandemic. But there’s still a lot of work to do to get vaccines from manufacturers to our health care providers, like hospitals and health departments, and ultimately to each of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

What we know so far is this: Safe, effective vaccines should be available soon. Our job is to be ready to get them to people as quickly and effectively as possible. North Carolina is working hard to hit the ground running when these vaccines are approved and shipped. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As concerning as the numbers are, I and many other North Carolinians have newfound hope in the development of promising vaccines. Moderna and Pfizer both have produced vaccines with remarkable early results, better than health experts ever hoped for. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We’re seeing cases and hospitalizations rise steadily, as are many other states. We’re continuing to the monitor data and trends closely. We need to keep doing what works: wearing a mask anytime we’re with people from another household and social distancing anytime we leave home. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have had 367,395 cases; 2,883 new cases have been reported since yesterday; a record high 2,033 people in the hospital, and sadly 5,284 people who have died. Our prayers are with those who've lost loved ones to this cruel virus. — PolitiTweet.org
