As of today, we have 1,721 new cases reported and 906 people in the hospital — and today is the second highest day in both of those categories since the pandemic started. We also have 1,271 people who have died, and we continue to pray for those we’ve lost and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Monuments to white supremacy don’t belong in places of allegiance, and it’s past time that these painful memorials be moved in a legal, safe way. (3/3) - RC. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

If the legislature had repealed their 2015 law that puts up legal roadblocks to removal we could have avoided the dangerous incidents of last night. (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I have ordered the Confederate monuments on the Capitol grounds be moved to protect public safety. I am concerned about the dangerous efforts to pull down and carry off large, heavy statues and the strong potential for violent clashes at the site. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Along with impacting our physical health, COVID-19 has placed a burden on the mental well-being of many North Carolinians. This grant will help @ncdhhs expand its Hope4NC program and provide crisis counseling for communities most affected by this pandemic. https://t.co/kmHd4eA32W — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday and happy album release day to Jaki Shelton Green, NC's first African-American Poet Laureate! We’re lucky to have such a talented poet representing our state and inspiring young writers and community leaders across North Carolina. https://t.co/KpeN2tv6i1 — PolitiTweet.org

As we continue our activation here at the Emergency Operations Center, I want to thank Dr. Mandy Cohen and Director Mike Sprayberry and their teams for their tireless work fighting this pandemic. You have both led by example since Day 1, and our state is fortunate to have you. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

No, it’s not the most comfortable thing, but you get used to it. It’s a piece of protection like gloves in the winter or a hat in the summer — an extra thing you put on that keeps you healthy. And this piece of protection may even save your life or the lives of your loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This is a low-cost, low-tech way to protect ourselves and our communities. It’s an important way to slow the spread of the virus without hurting the economy. We wear them here at the Emergency Operations Center. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We’re examining the issues surrounding a statewide requirement of face masks & some local governments have put requirements into effect already. Regardless of whether it’s a law or store requirement, wearing a face covering when you’re around others slows the spread of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

I want to talk about strong proven methods to slow the spread of COVID-19 — face coverings & social distancing. Guidance from the CDC and other health experts is clear: these work. We’re looking at ways to increase the use of face coverings & I applaud businesses requiring them. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Over the weekend, I personally asked Vice President Pence for federal assistance in setting up even more testing locations in our state. That’s going to be especially important as health directors identify hotspots for virus spread, which we have across our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

In the past week, we’ve averaged about 16,800 tests per day, a significant increase from where we were a month ago when we averaged around 7,500 tests per day. There are now more than 500 testing locations across our state that you can find on the state's interactive website. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have 48,188 lab-confirmed cases; 1,333 new cases reported today; 857 people in the hospital; and 1,175 people who have died. These numbers continue to concern us, and our prayers are with everyone fighting this virus and those who are grieving a loved one. — PolitiTweet.org
