Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for joining todays briefing on covid19 in North Carolina. As of today, we have 41,249 Lab Confirmed cases. 1760 new cases reported today , a new high. 760 people in the hospital, and sadly 1092 deaths. Dying from covid19 or mourning a loved one who right now can be isolating and difficult. We are praying for all those who are suffering now. Today, our concern is growing about the increase in cases and hospitalizations in North Carolina. This is also happening in many states across the country. While our hospitals still have this can we know change quickly. So we are working with hospitals and tracking hospitalizations and icu beds closely. Today is North Carolinas highest day of new cases since the pandemic started, and it is also the highest day of testing that weve had with over 21000 tests reported. But the high number of new cases is not just related to more testing. These numbers show the disease is spreading, that more people need hospital car
