Our country has held free elections during crises throughout our history and this year will be no different. North Carolinians will choose their leaders safely and securely on November 3rd and rally together to defeat this pandemic. - RC — PolitiTweet.org

Many families have been relying on federal unemployment benefits to pay bills and put food on the table. Congress needs to do more to support the millions who are out of work through no fault of their own. https://t.co/TSAtUaq9gE — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Actions to slow the spread of COVID-19 are starting to have an impact, but we need to double down. Stopping alcohol sales at 11 pm is a targeted strategy that can help move us in the right direction. https://t.co/dSM4zuorew — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

For now, let’s stick together and do what we know works to prevent disease spread while supporting each other. And that is how we will make it through. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

COVID-19 has made life difficult for families across our state, but it won’t be this hard forever. We are encouraged that vaccine development is showing promise and that we can win this fight against the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

My administration is putting in place an effort to help people with their rent and utility bills. We’re putting together a plan using funding from the CARES Act, and we will be announcing this soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our state legislature needs to do better when it comes to unemployment during a pandemic. Payments are too low for too short of a time. The state legislature also turned away legislation to create a statewide fund to help support people who are hurting because of this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I continue urging North Carolina’s congressional delegation and all of Congress to put politics aside and do what is right as this pandemic still rages on. The $200 a week supplement the Senate proposed is not enough and Congress and the President need to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As the end of this month approaches, I know many families are concerned about rent and utility payments coming due. This is especially difficult now that federal unemployment benefits that were helping to cover those bills will be cut off abruptly due to inaction in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This will be particularly important as colleges and universities are scheduled to start, bringing people all over the country to our state. We've seen case numbers increase among younger people, and prevention is critical to slowing the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Several local governments have already taken this step. Their orders will remain in place, as long as they are as strict or more strict, and our statewide order will go into effect anywhere that does not already have such a curfew already. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Public health experts and examples from other states show that bars & other places where people gather closely together are a high-transmission setting. We want to prevent restaurants from turning into bars after hours. We’re hopeful that this new rule can help drive down cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

To drive down numbers and continue our trends moving in the right direction, we're announcing today a statewide curfew on the sale of alcohol at restaurants. Effective this Friday, July 31, restaurants must stop selling alcoholic drinks after 11 pm. Bars will remain closed. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Stable is good, but decreasing is better. Slowing the spread of this virus requires targeted strategies that help lower the risk of transmission. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Other states have had to go backward when they saw sharp increases in their case numbers that overwhelmed hospitals. Fortunately, we’ve avoided that. And it’s because we have mandated masks and eased restrictions carefully, in modest phases. We do not want to go backward. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It’s encouraging to see our numbers are stabilizing, particularly when other states are seeing spikes. But the numbers are still too high. In order to start a downward trend, we have to double down on actions that slow the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today we have more than 116,000 lab-confirmed cases; 1,749 new cases since yesterday; 1,244 people in the hospital; and, sadly, 1,820 people who have died. Our thoughts are with everyone battling this virus, recovering from it or mourning a loved one. — PolitiTweet.org
