‘It would be dangerous to lift restrictions all at once,’

GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina’s stay-at-home order is set to expire at the end of the month on April 29. However, Governor Roy Cooper hasn’t made it known at this time if the stay-at-home order will be extended or modified.

The stay-at-home order for Greensboro, High Point, and Guilford County is set to expire on Thursday. Right now, it’s also unknown whether the city or county will extend or lift the order. Regardless, the state's executive order applies to these areas which includes the more restrictive rule of staying at home until April 29.

Governor Roy Cooper outlined a plan going forward for how they will evaluate easing or lifting restrictions while protecting against a dangerous second wave of the coronavirus.

“This virus is going to be with us until there is a vaccine, which may be a year or more away,” said Governor Cooper. “That means that as we ease restrictions, we are going to enter a new normal. We want to get back to work while at the same time preventing a spike that will overwhelm our hospitals with COVID-19 cases.”
