Some COVID-19 restrictions in North Carolina have now been lifted.
With cases and other key metrics trending downward in North Carolina, Gov. Roy Cooper on Wednesday announced the state would ease gathering and occupancy restrictions and end its 10 p.m. statewide curfew starting Friday at 5 p.m.
For the first time since early into the coronavirus pandemic, the Democratic governor is allowing bars and taverns to offer indoor service. His new executive order also increases alcohol sale cutoff times by two hours from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. and lets those businesses operate at 30% capacity up to 250 people.

North Carolina bars can welcome customers back inside Friday evening for the first time in nearly a year as the state eases COVID-19 restrictions.
Many Charlotte-area bars and nightclubs are preparing to reopen this weekend for the first time in nearly a year. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper issued an executive order Wednesday allowing many businesses that have been closed since the start of the pandemic to reopen at limited capacity beginning at 5 p.m. Friday.
Bars, movie theaters and nightclubs will be allowed to operate at 30% capacity. Bars were previously limited to serving patrons outdoors. The order also lifts the 10 p.m. curfew that has been in effect since early December, though on-site alcohol sales are prohibited after 11 p.m. and the statewide mandatory face mask order is still in effect.
