North Carolina has been reporting record levels of COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases, and deaths are on the rise, with 64 reported Wednesday.
Gov. Roy Cooper announced a stricter state-wide mask mandate on Monday that says North Carolinians must wear a mask at home when you have friends or family over to visit as well as wearing a mask at work, at the gym, at the store, and at school.
Cooper said his latest executive order makes it “clear that everyone needs to wear a mask whenever you are with someone you don’t live with.”
Virginia updated its coronavirus metrics on Thursday. The commonwealth is close to breaking its COVID-19 hospitalization record set back in May.
