Noon - North Carolina COVID-19 numbers seemed to level off on Monday, following record-setting numbers for new cases and hospitalizations on Saturday. Hospitalizations went down to 1,040 (down 30) on Monday. However, only 80 percent of hospitals are reporting data. It was the seventh-highest day for new cases (1,827). We reached a new record on Saturday with 2,462 new cases. 10 percent of total tests were positive as of Sunday, July 12. Remember, NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen wants to see that number closer to five percent to ease mitigation tactics.
