Kody Kinsley currently serves as your Chief Deputy Secretary at the department and has been leading COVID operations for the state. I will appoint him as Secretary immediately upon your departure. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Speaking of a remarkable team, a leader you recruited into that group is ready to take the position of Secretary when you step down and he will continue your legacy of strong leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

You and I, along with our remarkable team, have been in the trenches together, and we’re going to miss you. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

North Carolina has benefited greatly from your leadership over the past 5 years. That’s been especially true over the course of this pandemic, during which your work has saved countless lives. I deeply appreciate your service & your steady hand in times of crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

My administration is working hard to implement these solutions and I look forward to the efficient and effective use of these dollars that will speed pandemic recovery and do so much more. — PolitiTweet.org

It sends badly needed resources to local health departments on the front lines of this pandemic. It invests in our research universities where scientists are developing new COVID-19 treatments. It funds filling the gaps in high-speed internet that have been magnified recently. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Before Thanksgiving, I signed a new, bipartisan state budget that will help our state end this pandemic & come out even stronger on the other side. It includes hundreds of millions of dollars for business recovery grants as well as funds for individual families still struggling. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

And I appreciate all of the private sector businesses that have similar rules for their workers and customers because you’re making the right call to keep them safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Our state health facilities require vaccinations for their workers to protect them & their patients. Over 99% of those workers are now vaccinated. These numbers are good and we’re working to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

13% of NC children ages 5-11 received their first dose during the first 4 weeks they were eligible. Since my executive order went into effect requiring employees working in cabinet agencies to be vaccinated or tested weekly, the vaccine rate went from 65% in Sept. to 76% in Nov. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

North Carolina is working to increase the number of vaccinated people, including children who are eligible. Just as we did with the adult vaccine effort, we’re working with trusted messengers like community leaders & doctors to have conversations with parents who have questions. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

If you don’t believe it, get off the internet and on the phone with your doctor. If you were vaccinated at least 6 months ago, or 2 months for J&J, go get your booster because it will strengthen your immunity. Make an appointment today. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

If you want to make your Christmas gatherings safer, get your shot today. These vaccines are safe, effective and free. And they are saving lives every minute of every day by preventing people from getting severe COVID symptoms that could land them in the ICU or worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As the scientists & public health experts race to get answers about the new variant, we still know this to be 100% true – getting more people vaccinated is the way out of the pandemic. If you haven’t been vaccinated & you’re worried about the omicron variant, get your shot today. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The Delta variant is still with us, causing sickness and death mostly among the unvaccinated, while health alerts about the emerging omicron variant have caused concern and opened a new set of questions. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Thanks to COVID-19 vaccines & the millions of North Carolinians who got them, families & friends could gather more safely this year, sharing hugs & good food. Thanksgiving this year did feel more normal, but we’re all painfully aware that we haven’t fully defeated this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we have had 1,534,005 COVID cases; 1,755 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,131 people in the hospital; and 18,740 people who have died. As we mark our 2nd holiday season of the pandemic, we are fortunate this year’s Thanksgiving looked different from last year’s. — PolitiTweet.org
