North Carolina is continuing to find ways to help businesses as we work to slow the spread of this virus. Full-service restaurants are now eligible to apply for assistance with the MURR Program. https://t.co/hoNqdYZZQc — PolitiTweet.org

High case counts, including our highest day ever today, and other key metrics are why North Carolina is staying paused in Phase 3 while we lower the indoor gathering limit to 10. Wearing a mask, social distancing and being smart about this pandemic are more important than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we honor those who’ve made sacrifices to keep us safe, protect our democracy and make our state and our country stronger. Thank you to our veterans for their selfless service — the freedom we have is because of you. #VeteransDay2020 https://t.co/UEFuKB59uO — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s COVID-19 metrics. Our numbers are higher than we want them to be. We have to have keep our guard up on our safety measures, especially as we approach the holiday season. https://t.co/jLkjd5IUSD — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Starting Friday, NC's indoor mass gathering limit will be lowered to 10 people in an effort to bring down key COVID-19 metrics. Taking this seriously — and wearing our masks — will help slow the spread of this virus, which will also help our businesses. https://t.co/imuV3ZKD60 https://t.co/np5bxDVfvN — PolitiTweet.org

I know North Carolinians are creative and will find amazing ways to celebrate the holidays while still keeping our communities safe. Find a way that works for your family and know that your sacrifice is helping all of our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

But that takes everyone committing to a safe holiday, even if that means changes this year. Reduce the invite list. Space out your tables. Get a COVID test before the event. Or better yet, connect virtually. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

And even though this means changes to long-standing holiday traditions for many of us, take comfort in the fact that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. With our continued dedication, by next Thanksgiving or sooner, this pandemic can be behind us. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As frustrating and painful as it is, we must keep fighting a little while longer. We don’t want to let the last 8 months of sacrifices go to waste by dropping our guard or ignoring safety measures during family gatherings. We’ve come too far to lose our focus now. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

And I want North Carolinians to keep something else in mind as plans come together. This pandemic will end. A vaccine is in the final stages of development and the FDA has authorized a promising new treatment. Hope is on the horizon. This pandemic will – not – last – forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Thanksgiving is two weeks away, and North Carolinians are focused on how to celebrate the holiday amid this pandemic. There’ll be the usual concerns about who’s carving the turkey and whether we’re going to talk about politics. But we need everyone focused on how to keep safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

In addition, we have been providing some direct help, and this week there’ll be some additional assistance for restaurants. Starting Thursday, full-service restaurants seeking help with rent payments or mortgage interest may apply to @NCCommerce for up to $20,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This reduction in our indoor gathering limit aims to slow the spread and bring down our numbers. It also sends a serious signal to families, friends and neighbors across our state. Success in slowing the spread will help our businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The science shows that the transmission of this virus is much greater indoors. And the more people who are gathered, the easier this virus can spread. We saw increasing spread from social gatherings in October. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our numbers are too high. Considering our trends and cooler weather driving events indoors, North Carolina will remain paused in our current Phase 3 and we will adjust our indoor gathering limit down from 25 to 10 people. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We know how to do it – wear a mask, wash your hands, wait 6 feet apart. Thanks to North Carolinians who are doing it. If more will join you, it will help our economy and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our trends have avoided spikes but they remain stubbornly high. That is troubling. Other states have experienced spikes that have jumped quickly on them and their hospitals, causing more sickness and death. To avoid that, we need to focus on bringing our numbers down. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have 297,442 cases; 2,582 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,230 people in the hospital, and sadly 4,660 people who've died. As the number of people lost to COVID increases, I know people are grieving, and I continue to think about them as we battle this virus. — PolitiTweet.org
