Durham, N.C. Violations of restrictions Gov. Roy Cooper has put in place during the pandemic to limit the spread of coronavirus can result in a misdemeanor citation.
But that s not the case in Durham, where a stern letter or two from Assistant City Attorney Anna Davis is usually enough to bring businesses and individuals into compliance.
Nine months into the pandemic, Durham has yet to cite anyone for violating executive orders on wearing masks, the size of gatherings, the nightly curfew or operating a business that s supposed to be closed. Only one citation has been issued in Durham County, compared with about two dozen in Wake County and a dozen in Orange County.
