North Caroline Gov. Roy Cooper speaks at Guilford Technical
Community College, Monday, April 19, 2021, in Jamestown, N.C.,
about the Biden administrationâs American Jobs Plan.
If more North Carolinians get vaccinated, the state could end most pandemic restrictions by June 1, Gov. Roy Cooper said Wednesday, though the mask will likely remain.
In order for that to happen, though, at least 67% of the stateâs adults would have to have at least a first-dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Right now, that number stands at 47%.
Cooper said his conversations with state health officials have solidified his belief that âweâll have enough protection across our communities to be able to live more safely with this virus.â

The attorney for Charles Joseph Donohoe, the Kernersville resident and local Proud Boys leader facing federal charges in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, said in court papers filed Thursday that her client is not a flight risk and should be released from custody, describing Donohoe as a family man who respects law-enforcement and loves his country.
Lisa Costner, Donohoeâs attorney, also pushed back on claims made by federal prosecutors that Donohoe played a pivotal role in leading his fellow Proud Boys in storming the Capitol. In fact, Costner said in court papers, Donohoe went to Washington, D.C. at the last minute and never entered the Capitol, destroyed property or assaulted law-enforcement officers. She said Donohoe also did not encourage anyone else to destroy property or assault law-enforcement officers.
