Really appreciate Zack Cook’s great artwork on this portrait. When Ben and I were together we would both smile a lot. - RC https://t.co/VqrjJmAzki https://t.co/NuMGR0mF0m — PolitiTweet.org

Kristin and I are praying for this family and the Coast Guard community that does so much to keep us safe. The state has offered to assist and will support as needed. - RC https://t.co/TVsaQonICz — PolitiTweet.org

The science is clear — our masks are the best tool we have right now to contain this virus. Wearing one when you're with others protects the people you care about and helps us safely boost our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Manufacturers know they can count on North Carolina’s dedicated and highly-skilled workforce. These new jobs coming to Asheville are the latest indication of our state’s strong reputation in aviation. https://t.co/k2PyD7d4Fb — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s take these next three weeks to renew our commitment to doing what’s necessary to contain this virus. We’ve brought our case numbers down before and we can do it again if we all wear our masks and look after each other. https://t.co/aXv1ReN7jJ — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s update on North Carolina’s numbers. We can’t let our guard down. Remember: wear a mask, wait 6 feet apart and wash your hands. https://t.co/zhRLtSkcvt — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

North Carolina will remain paused in Phase 3 for the next three weeks. Let’s take this time to focus on what we know works — wearing a mask, washing our hands and waiting six feet apart. https://t.co/wErNBCDnYC https://t.co/CuhoGlc8T1 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Let’s keep working together. Let’s keep doing what works. And let’s stay focused – everyday – on our fight against this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Wearing a mask shows that you care about people. It's more for them than for you. Wearing a mask is an easy way to protect our communities and look out for each other. Confronting the virus head on and doing our part as individuals is good for our health and good for our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As this pandemic continues, I know it’s tiring and difficult to keep up our guard, especially when we’re gathered with people we love. But it’s necessary. No one wants to spread COVID-19 accidentally to friends or family. And so we must keep prevention at the forefront. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It's critical that we take this time to focus on the basics — wear a mask, wash your hands, wait six feet apart from other people. These are the habits that helped lower our numbers over the summer, and they are still our best tools. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Because several of our trends are moving in the wrong direction, North Carolina will remain paused in Phase 3 for the next 3 weeks. We hope that greater enforcement, strong community leadership and more people doing the right things can lower these numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

But we know the needs will surpass the amount we have. We need more support from Washington, and we need it soon. And we will continue working on ways to support North Carolinians. — PolitiTweet.org

Taxpayers can be assured that the $117 million HOPE program is having the desired effect as help for these families goes directly to landlords and utility companies to help ensure people can stay in their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As the number of applications climbs higher every day, it should make us remember that it’s more than a number. Every one of those applications represents a family having to make impossible choices between basic necessities during a global pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We’ve had over 12,000 eligible applicants for the HOPE program in less than a week since it launched. So many families are on the edge and need help with staying in their home with the lights on. People can apply by calling 2-1-1 or online here: https://t.co/XurklrsrFp. — PolitiTweet.org

Our local partners are key allies as we all fight COVID-19, and their work is vital. We hope our local communities can work with us to move some of our troubling trends in the right direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The letter also proposes that some counties should consider going beyond the statewide executive orders in ways such as lowering their local mass gathering limit or ending alcohol sales before the statewide requirement of 11 p.m. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The letter went to counties that have been experiencing increased viral spread, and it laid out steps they can take to slow infections. These include using civil penalties or fines for violating safety rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This starts with mobilizing businesses, community and faith leaders on the three Ws. We need everyone’s leadership in this moment talking about wearing a mask, waiting six feet apart and washing hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This week we are also asking local authorities to step up their efforts to slow the spread in their communities. @NCDHHS Secretary Cohen and the @NCPublicSafety Secretary Erik Hooks have shared a letter to county partners encouraging ways to enhance prevention efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Seeing how and where the virus is spreading in our communities helps us know how to slow it. And it reinforces the sinister way this virus spreads—at work, at church and at the homes of friends and families. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This week you’ll see even more detailed information on the state’s coronavirus dashboard, including county level data, a new breakdown of age, race, ethnicity and gender of people who are in the hospital, and a new report on clusters around the state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have 250,592 cases; 1,842 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,219 people in the hospital, and sadly 4,032 people who have died. My family and I continue to pray for those left behind in the wake of this cruel virus that has taken so many Americans too soon. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re mourning the loss of our dog Ben late last night. His companionship was priceless. We thank our daughter Hilary for the rescue adoption who wagged his way into everyone’s heart. - RC — PolitiTweet.org
