What are the factors that determine if NC continues to phase 2?

NORTH CAROLINA, USA — Now that North Carolina has officially entered phase one of its three-phase reopening plan, what factors will determine when we enter phase two?

There are four key factors in monitoring the spread of the virus (explained below), but health officials will also monitor the state's capacity for testing, tracing and personal protective equipment, according to several press releases, websites, and presentations released by the state.

Phase one began Friday at 5 p.m., and remains in place until Friday, May 22 at 5 p.m., according to Executive Order 138.

Governor Cooper has said that phase two is expected to begin two to three weeks after phase one, given that certain conditions are met.

However, an FAQ from the state says that “Phase 1 will be extended unless data shows the state is prepared to move to Phase 2.”
