Gov. Cooper extends Phase 2 for another three weeks

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Governor Roy Cooper made another big announcement Tuesday.

He's extending phase 2 of his re-opening plan for the second time.

That means bars, gyms and other businesses must stay closed for another three weeks.

The current phase 2 order was supposed to expire Friday. Now, it will run through August 7, impacting business owners like Summer Sides. 

She owns Greensboro Downtown Yoga Studio.

“It’s starting to get to that very stressful point and the government is not supplying financial support,” Sides said. “What are we going to do?”

Sides' doors have been closed since March.

“We have cut every single expense we don't have to have,” Sides said. “Even our instructors, we were trying to pay them when they helped with something but now we can’t.”
