2 Triad counties named as areas of concern for coronavirus by White House

FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — As the state reopens, and more people get back out of the house, health experts issue this warning: coronavirus is still very much here, and still spreading.

"I think that we've done a lot of really good work to this point but we know there's so much more to do," said Dr. Mandy Cohen, the state's Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, earlier this week, "I know everyone is feeling weary from COVID-19. We've been at this a long time."

Dr. Deborah Birx with the White House coronavirus task force, called Dr. Cohen, raising concern over the rise in coronavirus cases in a number of counties: Mecklenburg, Durham, Wake, Forsyth, Duplin, Lee. Johnston, and Alamance. 

Dr. Cohen says, these areas were already on the state's radar.
