Closing the coverage gap would help more than 500,000 North Carolinians get the health care they need. COVID-19 has made this even more urgent. It’s time to do the right thing and expand Medicaid. — PolitiTweet.org

In North Carolina, nursing homes are required to test staff every two weeks. Regular testing will help us track cases quickly and protect the people living in these care facilities. https://t.co/BVNAcVhLsE — PolitiTweet.org

There are still 4 million North Carolinians who haven’t completed the census yet. Filling it out takes less than 10 minutes and benefits our whole state. Get counted today at https://t.co/dWkW1VJKwK. #MakeNCCount — PolitiTweet.org

During today’s visit to Oak Island, Gov. Cooper thanked first responders and met with members of the community impacted by Hurricane Isaias. https://t.co/yqbfdnSOr7 — PolitiTweet.org

A pandemic makes hurricane recovery even more difficult, but the people of eastern NC have shown remarkable strength. Grateful for the first responders and emergency managers in Brunswick County who are on the ground helping the community through the aftermath of the storm. https://t.co/3M7f2gdqjy — PolitiTweet.org

Getting masks and other critical supplies to North Carolinians — particularly those in schools and congregate living settings — has been a top priority as we battle COVID-19. Our state will continue taking aggressive steps to get PPE to those who need it. https://t.co/N5evsjDGzp — PolitiTweet.org

"I care deeply about eastern North Carolina having grown up here, so we just want people to know that we care and that we’re gonna try to help." - Gov. Cooper, viewing storm damage in Bertie County today. https://t.co/R4zUWVLzAI — PolitiTweet.org

In keeping with our dimmer switch approach with schools opening, and in order to push for decreasing numbers which will keep people healthier and boost our economy, North Carolina will remain paused in Safer At Home Phase 2 for 5 weeks. https://t.co/uozQhYyitv https://t.co/bdyrAoYzJz — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Whether it’s a storm or a pandemic, that kind of hope and our shared commitment to a stronger future will keep us going. Hold on to that hope. Keep wearing your masks. And know that these difficult times won’t last forever, but our strength and resilience will. — PolitiTweet.org

One mom told me that she and her daughter were violently thrown from their mobile home but were unhurt. Amid losing most of what she had, she was thanking God for her life and the life of her daughter. That’s amazing. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As I saw the hurricane and tornado aftermath today – families reeling and entire communities still in shock – I also saw that familiar glimmer of hope that shines every time North Carolinians face a challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

These simple strategies are more important than ever. It’s time to double down on them. The more people who do this, the better our health and economy will be. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our success at returning thousands of students, teachers, and staff safely to classrooms this month depends on us doing what works. Most North Carolinians are doing their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 – wearing a mask, waiting six feet apart and washing hands often. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Experts believe our mandatory mask order stabilized our numbers. And just last week, we added a curfew on alcohol sales to keep restaurants from turning into bars, which are high-transmission areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

With the opening of schools, people will move around more and so will the virus. Other states that lifted restrictions quickly have had to go backward as their hospital capacity ran dangerously low and their cases jumped higher. We won’t make that mistake in North Carolina. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The opening of schools and colleges is an important one – education must go on, even in a pandemic. In-person learning has benefits. But it means challenges for our state, especially as our higher education campuses draw students from around the country and the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

A number of private schools are starting back with in-person instruction as well. Our college campuses will have students but they’ll be using more buildings and less in-person instruction because of the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Most of our students will begin school using remote learning, but others will have in-person instruction. However, there will be fewer children in the classroom at one time, mandatory mask wearing & social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

There are key openings already occurring this month. August means back-to-school time for our K-12 students as well as our colleges and universities. But it’s not business as usual this year for our schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

In North Carolina, we’ve used a dimmer switch approach to easing restrictions. This ensured we didn’t open too much, too quickly, which health experts say can lead to a devastating increase in cases, sickness & death. And it can lead to having to go backward like other states. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As I said last week, stable is good, but decreasing is better. And while we are seeing stabilization of our numbers, that doesn’t mean we can let up. You only have to look at hospitals in other states that have been overwhelmed when reopening occurred too fast. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

A hurricane on top of a pandemic is cruel. But our emergency managers and first responders were prepared to handle both crises at once. And our people are showing their resilience. Throughout, North Carolina continues its fight against COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org
