This pandemic has been difficult for all of us. It’s been particularly tough on parents, teachers, and school children. It’s time to focus on getting our children a good education and improving our schools, no matter how you feel about masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

It is the unvaccinated who are experiencing the vast majority of COVID deaths. We have learned how to protect ourselves and each other from serious illness due to COVID. Now we take a positive step on mask requirements to help us move safely toward a more normal day-to-day life. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

At this stage of the pandemic, it is right for them to make these choices in most situations. The most important thing people need to know is vaccines provide the strongest protection against serious illness, hospitalization and death from this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Learning to live with this virus is a reality we will continue facing. Some people, including me, will feel more comfortable wearing a mask in crowds. Parents may still want their children wearing a mask at school. Businesses may want their employees & customers wearing masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Learning how to live with this virus is a reality we will continue to face. Some people, including me, will feel more comfortable wearing a mask when they are in crowds, for example. Parents might still want their children wearing a mask inside school. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

People & businesses should continue to make the best decisions for themselves, their employees & their customers. There are still some places, like health care, long-term care & public transportation where a mask will still be required because of settings or federal regulations. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As a result of all of these factors, I encourage schools & local governments to end their mask mandates. Soon, NC DHHS Secretary Kody Kinsley will discuss the latest school guidance from health officials on masks, their recommended path to ending requirements, & COVID data. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This variant is clearly much more contagious, yet generally causes less severe illness, particularly to people who are vaccinated and boosted. And now people know how to gauge their level of risk and decide how best to protect themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

For the most part, they have. I'm grateful for local officials who have done amazing work to protect children & save lives in difficult circumstances. The Omicron variant of this virus overran the nation quickly. Now, just as fast as the numbers peaked, they are falling. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

People continue to get vaccinated & boosted, and 75% of adults have at least one shot in North Carolina. We ended North Carolina’s statewide mask mandate last spring & have relied on local school boards, local governments & local public health officials to make good decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

These efforts have worked. We’ve prioritized getting children safely back in the classroom. We’ve made available an abundant amount of PPE and testing, and we’ve made safe, effective and free vaccines available to everyone ages 5 and up. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

When effective treatments and miraculous vaccines became available, we pushed them out across the state. All along we informed the public about this virus and we systematically reduced mandatory protections, relying more on people and businesses to make educated choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

In the early months when there was almost no PPE or testing & precious little vaccine or effective treatment, we put protections in place like mandatory masking & gathering limits that no doubt saved lives. We got to work. We manufactured & stockpiled PPE. We expanded testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Throughout this pandemic, we’ve worked to protect people’s lives and livelihoods. In fact, North Carolina has ranked among the lowest states in COVID deaths and job loss per capita. — PolitiTweet.org
